Chinese Part Suppliers

Has anyone else been approached by some chinese people that offer to rid you
of the hassle of manufacturing your own parts? The thought being that you
could focus your company on the assembly of your equipment and not be
burdened with making and storing all of the individual components and
sub-assemblies for that matter.

I went down the path with these fellows for quite awhile but I just had one
of those gut feelings (I chickened out) about the hole arrangement and
bailed out.

Since then I have found that one of our competitors went whole hog with
them. Now they find there parts for sale on the internet at a greatly
reduced price.

Just thought I'd pass this on so noone else gets stung.

If you look in my driveway there is a Honda, Acura, Infiniti, Benz and
Chevy. The Chevy was the cheapest, but not the best quality. It runs.
If you look in my living room there is a Kenwood, a Samsung, an RCA
and some cheap DVD player. I don't think any of them were made on
shore except perhaps the Kenwood because it is quite old. In the
kitchen we have GE oven, Kenmore stove, Amana fridge, Samsung
microwave, Ronco rotiserrie (yes it works good), and a Panasonic
breadmaker. The range hood is an Allure. And throughout lots of
computer stuff. As far as I know all this stuff, whether built here or
offshore was built by those who came up with or improved on the idea
and therefore got paid for it. If the Chinese took as much time coming
up with all those good ideas that the History channel tells us they
did in the past I would buy their products. As it is I stay far away
from Wal-Mart and the other purveryors of the cheap, low spec and
possibly knockoff kind of stuff. You get what you pay for.

Remember, the dollar you save at Wal-Mart might be your neighbors rent
money.
