Let me set the stage for you: You’re browsing Amazon or E-bay for that product you have decided you need….and you come across several options. You do some price comparing and find the cheapest product which still boasts thousands of 5 star reviews. You read through the ad-copy and reviews and immediately notice something strange: phrases in English that sound broken, strange, grammatically in-correct, and in some cases down right non-nonsensical. It’s then becomes pretty clear to you that this product is made in China.
While almost all of us have been guilty of ignoring our quality concerns for cost-savings at one time or another, there are many reasons why we should re-consider before clicking that buy button on the heavily discounted Chinese knockoff version of that must have product. Just as President Trump has brought the focus of his politics into “Making America Great Again”, here are five reasons why you should consider going out of your way to buy American-made products and help bring jobs back into the country!
The term “Made within the USA” has historically been a symbol for quality, excellent craftsmanship and a superior product. We typically don’t cut corners here…and continuing to use foreign imports gives no guarantee of quality that our culture has formed around. While shipments and products are often monitored, there’s no true guarantee of the imported goods quality and longevity as many foreign vendors are notoriously difficult to contact and make their products difficult to return on purpose to reduce returns and improve their bottom line.
