Because that’s how real manufacturing works. Just like all those entrepreneurs you watch on Shark Tank but I bet you don't send them death threats do you?Made in China” doesn’t mean cheap, doesn’t mean unethical, and definitely doesn’t mean slave labor. It means your product was made by experts who’ve been perfecting manufacturing longer than most U.S. factories have existed.
My tariff bill used to be about $9,000 for the past few years.
Now it’s $196,000.
Because tariffs went from about 10% to 245%.And no, I can’t just “move it to the U.S.”, as if there’s a magical vending machine factory around the corner waiting for my blueprints. And the US made samples I've gotten were unsellable quality. What my factory makes is the highest quality I could find.
You think if I had $200k lying around, I’d be here?"
