Exactly. And don't fall for "shipped from the USA" either. That just means some fucking Chinese company rented a warehouse in the US so they can manufacture in China, ship to the US, and mail out from the warehouse. It's a fucking scam and it should be illegal.

Or even worse- an American cuck buys Chinese product DIRECT from the sweatshop in China and it is shipped to an Amazon warehouse In the USA where they will literally hold all the product for you. Cucks trying to start a “online re-sell” business are doing this all over the USA. Source- I know flaming libs that are doing this, there’s classes for it online and shit

Amazon must have 40 different filters to choose from when you search for an item, but Made in USA is not one of them. hmmmm

Good thinking. If this doesn't work well, we can make our own lists. Maybe later our own app. At the same time, that type of infrastructure further strengthens our ability to say FU to leftists cancel culture NPCs and their corporate hostages.

Asians do it all the time. It's enterprising, and I won't support it.

Early on in the tariff trade war with China, the big sellers on Speddit in the Amazon forums were saying that their manufacturers all offered to transship through other countries to avoid the high tariffs.

We need to get a handle on that and bring back manufacturing here. Why is it so much cheaper to make stuff there then ship it 6000 miles? Labor costs cant be the only thing

Labor is a huge factor. And risks of unionizing. Health Insurance.

The number one largest expenditure of any company is labor. By a large margin.

It's hard to find investors that will put capitol in your company if you have razor thin margins. That's why China is able to crank shit out. Banks/investors roll them because their profit spreads are usually huge because of the near slave labor.

Or the new bs everywhere: Proudly Designed in the USA, by an American-Owned Company! Ok, great - but WHERE is it made and shipped from again?

Shipped from the USA is nice because you don't have to wait several months for something to arrive direct from China. As much as I hate buying from China, some things I use can only be bought from there. Not necessarily a scam, depends on how it's advertised.

Yes, that's a fair point. The ads I'm seeing on Facebook are scams, because they're even stealing the photographs of small creators to sell cheap knock-offs. But I used to deal with a fabric company in China, and they were upfront that their American warehouses were for convenience/time.
