10. that happened to my wife's old company

Wal-Mart had been a major customer for years, but several years ago, Wal-Mart basically forced them to ship their product to Guangzhou (Canton) China. Even though the production costs were basically the same in the US as they were in China, WM basically said that their goods must be sent to Guangzhou (basically, so WM could get the bulk shipping discount when sending it back to the US) - so, it was either move their manufacturing to China, or go out of business because they couldn't afford to ship their goods to China to have them turn around and be shipped back to the US...
