Will you try to buy less made in China

Already do. Hope the options finally widen for me.

I've been doing it for years. I'll pay more for American, it's made better anyway.

I will continue that practice.

Already do, but will pay even closer attention the now. And hope when this dies down Trump makes it a campaign promise to bring as much back from the bat eaters as possible.

Will definitely make an effort to buy American when possible.

Yeah they want made in America with chins prices.

I would say my ball park would be 70% of our customers would buy American if it were the same price, but just don't want their noses rubbed in the fact that their item is made in china, and 30% wouldn't care either way.

The problem isn't that Made in USA is 5% more expensive. It's 25% more expensive, and very few people pay that.

We even did a whole advertising campaign over bringing our big popular product back to the USA. No one cared enough to buy at the higher price.

I'd like to see a store, say Target or WalMart, arrange their display of goods like this - American made products on aisles 1-8 and foreign made products on aisles 9-15.

Many customers will not take the individual time to look at each item to see where it is made but with designated aisles of Am. made products, it would be interesting to see just how much of those items would actually sell taking into account the prices might be higher.

I always have.

A good majority of the time you can't do anything about it. What % of our electronics are made there? Car parts? You can't avoid it.

For you boys that like your yeti coolers? Do some research on it. They don't make em all here. A lot of gray area with yeti..all of their soft coolers, steins, accessories etc are 100% made in China.

Their hard coolers...some of them are ASSEMBLED in the USA. But the parts are coming from China im pretty sure. One silver lining...if you want a hard cooler that is 100% assembled in the USA you can call and request it and they will make sure you are taken care of.

Past couple of years I've gotten into Kayak/kayak fishing long story short Jackson, Tennessee makes Jackson kayaks (I bought one). They also manufacture and assemble Orion coolers...100% made in USA and work as good or better than YETI. A hair more expensive...but I am going to buy one because I like it and more importantly made here on our soil.

I hope these companies that source all of their shite out to China take notice. Your avg every day American doesn't like that crap.

Yep, hopefully USA quits outsourcing and depending on things from China
