For anyone when has ordered customs, what's your worst one?

Sorry you've dealt with some of these experiences. I have to admit, though, that #2 and #3 made me a laugh a bit...I have to admire the sheer chutzpah in thinking you wouldn't notice!

I don't generally ask for customs anymore unless I've seen a lot of their work for obvious reasons.

Here's my top 3. One of these was from what I thought was a pretty reputable producer.

1. Asked for a 15 minute video, requested no cuts in the video. Told her that if she has to stop to rest or whatever that's fine, just do what you can. Video I got was 3 minutes, only about 1:45 of what I actually asked her to do. Said she got tired? I've seen her do much longer similar videos. This one was from what I thought was the reputable place.

2. Asked for a 20 minute video, also no cuts. She filmed a 5 minute video then edited it in a loop so it was 20 minutes long

3. She just reuploaded a different video she had made before, guess she hoped I wouldn't notice.

4. She did exactly what I asked, but she did it outside at night. Seemed like there was a porch light on and the camera was sitting on the porch.

The one that she edited into a loop was a new one for me. I definitely never expected that.

The interesting part to me is that it probably took her longer to do the editing than it would have taken for her to just film the video like I asked.
