Could you elaborate on the price differential? Specifically, how did it compare with Chinese options in some cases?
Generally, when sourcing from China or other lower-cost regions, the guideline was that if you didn't see 30% savings, it might be better to source elsewhere. However, anything offering savings greater than 30% was a prime candidate for sourcing from a lower-cost region, particularly China.
