A lot of the stuff we buy from China (tooling) is not worth the savings.
Not made to print, not made to directions, rework and repairs are commonplace, shipping costs are tremendous - we just paid $15,000 to air ship a mold to meet our customer deadline - the toll itself was $25,000.

Do you give a hoot about worker safety?
Forget China if you do.
They have too many people to worry about individuals.
I'll tell you a story later, but no time right now.
Funny how the tree hugging whackos are so quick to give other countries a pass on GW and other important issues that we live by here.

Some suppliers are good and turn out good products, but no good enough that there be any reason not to be building tools and molds here at home.
We are losing the people who understand this craft and without them we won't be training apprentices for the future.

If you want egg rolls, call China, otherwise, built it here and use it here.
