I had to wait a couple months to get the XXX's I ordered from RE because they were waiting on parts being shipped from China (what they told me).But I disagree that the cause of the outsourcing is due to the consumers. The blame shouldn't be put on the consumer for not chosing the more expensive product simply because its made here, it is human nature to chose the best bargain. The problem is in the fact that the product made here is in fact more expensive. Especially considering the overseas product had to have the shipping cost added in, and is still competitive in price with the local product. Im not an economist to explain why American labor is so much higher, but I assume it has to do with variances in world currencies and local cost of living prices.</blockquote>
