Experienced outstanding outcome with outsourced solutions?

[rsant]

In hopes of starting the design process of a long awaited project, I recently posted at elance. For those of you not familiar with elance, the process begins with you stating your project and budget, with a hopeful reciprocation of designers/firms placing "bids" for the job offer.

I had made a posting yesterday, and now I am receiving plenty of bids from overseas, mostly from India or Russia. Most of their introductions, presentations, portfolios and RATES blow away the replies I receive from people here in the states. Our budget for this project from design/e-commerce implementation is around 2k. Based on portfolios , some $6k bids i see from the states can't even compete with a
$2k portfolio from firm "xyz" in New Delhi, India.

As i hopefully anticipate the start of my project for the beginning of March '08, have any of you personally experienced outstanding services? I am worried most about not being able to communicate properly in terms of the logistics and specifics. Not in the sense of a language barrier, but in terms of cultural difference.

Post your experiences!
