Chinese will definitely build you what you want at the price point you want

Thats the issue, most Kiwi businesses seem to operate on the build it as cheap as you can and sell it for the absolute maximum can and then if it fails either replace it begrudgingly with a lot of moaning or totally ignore the customer/walk away.

I wont buy locally produced hunting clothing now both the fit and quality is rubbish. its no good getting your rooted dodgy boots replaced with another pair of the same, when you hobble back after they failed during a hunt

American companies know what customer service generally is and excell at it.
