I like the idea of sourcing from the USA. Not out of some patriotic thing as much as just simplicity. Quicker turnaround. And possibly change with how imports are taxed in the future as well as costs to manufacturer in the US maybe lowering.
But man is sourcing from here not as user friendly. I know how to track down suppliers of certain items. But they almost always seem to have terrible websites. And sometimes arent manufacturers as much as they are just a middle man importing from China.
Maybe if you are coming up with a brand new design it is easier to get that done here since communication is better. But the act of looking through these various importing sites and getting ideas from the products they are displaying doesnt exist when looking for USA manufacturers. Unless im missing some website.
