Product purchasing decisions based on manufacturer’s proximity

Never thought of that i go for the best not the closest. Good luck though!!

I have never based a product purchasing decision on manufacturer proximity. I’ve had audio products from Germany, UK, HK, China, as well as the USA.

This came up in another thread for an OP thinking about that possibility. So I thought it worthy of discussion.

The only thing I could think of that might justify such considerations would product shipping weight or bulk (size) if warranty work at the factory were required.

I never buy anything from China. Too many counterfeits and poor quality control. There are limited exceptions I would consider. 

A huge amount of what’s in your house is from China.
