Quality control, shipping delays, port strikes, rising costs (yes, China's labor costs are increasing dramatically), differences in business culture, etc. If you go to them with a proposal to match or come close (through powdercoating or whatever) to the outsourcing price, only a fool would choose to deal outside the USA.
Indeed, we are working on some ideas to save them money here. We have to be careful on this as we know things we're not suppose to know...If you know what I mean.
