Agreed! Why would these companies think that your average person at 3mm would be able to fit flares that are 4.5mm or 5mm? 8g-6g is a tough stretch for many, trying to squeeze a 4g flare through is beyond reason.
Honestly another thing I'd be worried about with the kits that are sold at the mall is, many of them are acrylic tapers and plugs. Though they are offering up a taper and a plug for each ear, encouraging people to actually use real jewelry, the plugs are acrylic... No bueno in new stretches.
