China is not only cheaper but in many cases better at manufacturing.
I sometimes deal with a Canadian vs a Chinese supplier for a component of a consumer product, and the difference in customer service, quality, and speed is stark. AND it’s cheaper. The only issue from a logistics point of view is that China is far and shipping is slow.
- mk89 1y agoIs Canadian quality bad? As a European I don't have much experience with stuff made in Canada, I think. At least I can't think of any...
- FredPret 1y agoNo it's usually great, for the things that are usually made here. But the item I in question is low-cost and plastic. There are other, higher-margin things we buy from Canadians and the experience is very different. But these aren't the things people typically want to onshore with tariffs.
