    They may not come back to let you know, they may just take their
    business elsewhere. 

    It sounds like you do all the right things  and that is good.
    However there are too many retailers who don't, too many stories
    about yellow goods plated to make them "white" and shoddy plating
    jobs. Too many folks don't have a clue about proper plating
    procedures and bath maintenance and as a result you get plating that
    lasts a couple of months rather than a couple of years. 

    I still belive the best solution is to use materials that don't
    require plating but you obviously have a different view of the
    process and strive for a high quality plating job. 

    To each his own.
