I have a funny one for ya on shipping and rec. costs over to the orient. My old employer, Eaton corp. in the Mich. area. Wanted a cost savings, like everybody. And some snot nosed punk kid that worked there figured out that they could get plastic pieces made in S. Korea, it costs 20% less, all the managers gave this kid a pat on the back an atta boy. Well 1 month into the cost savings they realized that the returnable dunnage of the trays cost more than expected and the 20% cost savings was all gone and it actually cost more to go to Korea then getting it done in N. America. It make me laugh in their face. Thats what happens when bean counters run a mfg. company.
