not really, especially with plastics. if you are talking machined metal stuff than yes it is cheaper to find a local guy pay him to do it. got to remember that the capabilities of overseas are almost as high as here... and growing by the month. but they have a larger desire to grow than we do... and as such will get into markets where the money isn't always top just to be in that market.
