Yeah, many problems with the setup for sure. I'm not saying that China can't make quality products, I'm sure they can (hell, they're probably machine made anyway). Everyone should eat so it ain't that either. The thing is, we've all noticed a quality drop when things go to china. Likely QC or material related. As a consumer, how do you pick? I can get arbors off of eBay for $10 shipped and, for all I know, they're actually the good ones. Problem is, I don't know if they are or not. This is where outsourcing all falls down for me. You can't judge until you, the consumer, is holding it in your hand (or has already received the service) and at that point you the consumer are the only one who gets screwed.
