I'd like to see a list of 10 things everyone generally has that do NOT either come from China or have parts made in China.

Sorry about that...but it is reality for the normal person who wants to get the best value for his buck...

Hate scammers and telephone solicitors as well.

I had to look back and see who starter the thread...guess I am guilty as charged...probably not the first time...LOL...

Well, my mail-order bride finally arrived from Temu, however, there are some noticeable problems. For one, she appears to be from the Orient, however, she speaks with a Russian accent. Another issue is that there appears to be a leaking seal, and I am not certain to to replace it. It is dripping a red liquid, so I don't think that it is Kubota Super UDT. Do you think that I could find a factory service manual online that will have pictures and the proper instructions for the repair? Messicks dot com doesn't stock the necessary parts and says that some are obsolete and others are 20-30 day delivery. I believe that my only choice is to ship her to Henro to see if he can figure out what is wrong with her. I put her on the bus this afternoon after she signed the waiver papers and should arrive North of Pittsburgh PA sometime around midnight. She will be wearing a pants suit that looks a lot like what Hillery Clinton wore during her presidential bid, except that this one is gold in color and emblazoned on the back and down the legs are the words "I am a North Korean Million Dollar Lottery Winner". Best of luck to Henro trying to sort this one out!

All of my coolers.
Kitchen table
Dining room table
Shoes (while I can't confirm all don't have "parts")
All cast iron cookware
All firearms (that's more than 10 right there)
Jeans
All my motorcycle tires
Tire warmers for the race bikes
Stands for the race bikes
Kitchen pendant lights
Dining room lights
Office lighting
Insulated water jug
Belts (all of them)
Race leathers
Helmets
Gloves

That's just off the top of my head.

Made-ish in USA...

I often think the reality is that in some USA warehouse staffed with non-US Citizens they take made in China product from palette A, a power supply from made in China palette B, put both in a box from made in China palette C and slap a Made in USA sticker from made in China palette D on the box.
