Just had something Fedex'd from China, got here fine. About to have the rest shipped. I'll let yall know.
Before anyone gives me crap about buying from China, I tired to buy US. Every where I tried told me they were going to go to China for it. So I cut out the middleman and did it myself. Not happy about it but if your business has a need then what can you do?
We need to start manufacturing our own products again. Market them as MAGA Make a fortune
We started buying only "Made in USA" products in 1993. It was really tough. We finally gave up in 2002.
All sheet metal for classic cars cheap china shit no more nos fenders quarters
What were you buying? Some shit only China makes still. .aybe we start producing some shit here.
Machine parts. I don't want to get into it to much because cancel culture.
USA doesn't make these parts. I paid money to join a national association so that I could find an American that makes them. Their people set me up with more middlemen in the US that would buy from China.
Good to know. Spouse is a SME here, trying to get his company to diversify more -- they are too dependent on the "flying" industry for business.
Willing to share the general industry where parts are scarce?
There are a lot of liberals that will be my customers. I'm thinking about 50%. I don't want to Black Rifle Coffee myself. Maybe one day I will come back here and tell ya.
The company I work for once tried to make use of Chinese-made materials because the price was drastically lower and claimed to be of the same standard.
The stuff shows up and they start building with it. Then the calls start coming in that stuff is wrong with it. The quality was so poor that by the time they paid to fix all the problems with it that it cost more than the money they originally saved. I wish I remember the details from the testing because for something listed as meeting certain standards, it failed EVERYTHING.
It worked out this time! Thanks goodness it did!
