Over the years, I've built up a list of a dozen factories in China. My process is much slower than what you are describing, as I still need to email designs and go back and forth for clarification. I have found the price and lead time through my list to be very good, even when compared to one-man CNC shops in the US. Am I likely not a target customer for Jiga?

I think that you definitely are. First, keep in mind that you can manage these existing suppliers and send quote requests from within Jiga to external suppliers as well (obviously no fees involved). Second, when you need to quote fast and get parts easily, it could be very useful. Companies who have relationships with hundreds of suppliers are buying parts from Jiga suppliers because of service, speed and comparison capabilities, which could definitely beat their existing suppliers.

Yep I recently started ordering CNC machined parts from SunPE in China: http://sunpe.com/

They’re great! They’re quick to respond via email, prices are great, and their turn times are low. Parts look great too.

Any chance you feel like sharing your list? Or some top names you like? I bet I’d get a lot out of it. Thanks!

We are exposing all the information about our supplier on our product, limited to what the supplier is willing to share.

For instance, you'll always see certifications and reviews (if exist) to supplies listed on Jiga. But names might be masked due to the supplier request.

It's unfortunate that it is so much cheaper to order something on another continent and fly it over. Is there really no way to source custom parts made in the USA without it costing an arm and a leg?

Hi Smattiso, Thanks for your feedback. First of all, production costs in the East are significantly cheaper than those in the United States. You will find that in many cases ordering from local manufacturers is better, especially for relatively small orders. Furthermore, when you use Jiga, you can communicate directly with local manufacturers. We continue to seek out quality and affordable manufacturers from the USA.
