Hey John,
How would you like it if one of your regular customers decided to start
buying shirts from someone overseas for a couple dollars less instead of
from you? Some of the Amaya parts are made overseas. Read the box or package
when you order the parts from Melco. I have spare parts here that say "made
in Japan" My understanding is part of the machine is assembled in Texas and
the other part assembled in Denver.

Ernest -
Why exactly is it not good business? Maybe YOU are at the point where you
can AFFORD to pay more for things or get better deals because of your size,
but we can't. We have bills to pay, a home equity line to pay down, and
sometimes, that means we look for a combination of price and quality so that
we get the job.
I am MORE THAN PLEASED with the quality done for us.... I get what I pay for
AND MORE. So, it's NOT common sense in my book. They do a great job and
have been very flexible to work with. I would pit their work up against
anyone here in the US I have used - and your $15 person. We are in a global
economy. Some things are just cheaper outsourced. That's the way it goes.
It's a reality of business in many sectors.
As I said - I still try to use american vendors for the bulk of what we do.
But if say, someone makes a better thread that runs better on my machines
and it's not american made, I'm not going to simply buy american for that
sake. I happen to think in many areas, we make the best... But I don't have
blinders on either.
To each their own.... I'm not telling anyone how to run their business.
Just giving the flip side of the coin - out business REALITY - where
sometimes it makes business sense to outsorce something.
JOHN

I personally think that giving the overseas digitizers business is NOT GOOD
business...
ALSO
Give this some thought..
If this digitizer could get what we get here in the US...
WHY WOULD he charge $3/1000 instead of $15/1000
It's just common sense..
YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR...

No offense meant to anyone (so please don't take it that way) - but without
being able to get digitizing at an inexpensive price when we were just
starting, we would have lost customers going against the big boys. Yeah, we
could have passed up the business, but we had $20k in Machine and Software
to pay for. So I understand why things get sent overseas. I try to buy
american as much as the next person - but sometimes, you have to hit a price
point. Or there are times where I have had to have a design ready to go the
next day - where I get things in at close of business, send it out, and have
it ready when I wake up at the beginning of the next day.
Digitizing is just one component of the process. I buy my supplies from a
local company in Baltimore that employs american workers. I buy my garments
from companies with offices here that employ american workers. If I have to
outsource one SMALL component - so that WE - a local american owned company
can get the business, and so I can support other amercian companies with the
majority of my business, and put money back into my local economy... I'm
going to do that.
That being said, we are doing more stuff in house, and we have found a
digitizing company in the US that we also use.
