Imports will always be around as you get a bigger bang for the dollar. It's the same in Canada, I will never buy anything that's Canadian made as it's price is too high. I'll buy imported merchandise and have it shipped in and pay less for the same thing that's made in Canada. The savings is 40 to 70% cheaper. I don't care if something comes China, Japan, Bangladesh, Pakistan or some Third World entity. I don't support what they do in some Countries but regardless of that fact the savings is what I look for. Products manufactured in places like China, India, Tiawan, Vietnam, Indonesia as well as a number of other places are manufactured with a much lower set of quality standards and requirements than places like the U.S. or Canada or the U.K. or Australia also. Other than cheaper labor costs in product manufacturing, that is another reason why so much of the products manufactured in those other places are cheaper made and are not made with nowhere near the quality standards and requirements that products manufactured in some countries are. That is where the 'made in china' or 'made in Taiwan' references started out from referring to alot of poorly made products that were manufactured using the cheapest and not so good of materials to manufacture lots of products from because a majority of products they manufacture there are done so without having as much of set quality standards or requirements as far as quality and dependability may go. That is why alot of the products manufactured in some of those other places, is not as dependable and does not last as long as a majority of the products that are manufactured in places like the U.S. or Canada or the U.K. or Australia.

The quality of the product may not be as great but it's within comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foreign products will be cheaper until the Canadian dollar becomes worthless when Canada produces nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
