When you use a domestic supplier, you are usually getting expertise and design assistance. They can often help you make a good idea even better. If you go offshore, you may have a language barrier and cultural differences to make things more difficult. Instead of a helping partner, you often get a management nightmare, missed deadlines, and poor quality.
International law experts, market research analysts, and global commerce consultants do not come cheap either. This can quickly consume the apparent savings being offered with offshore outsourcing. If you do not consult with these types of professionals, you could easily be inviting disaster.
If you are considering the move to offshore outsourcing, making sure your quality specifications are consistently met is exponentially more difficult than using a domestic supplier. If your product fails due to manufacturing defects, an offshore manufacturer is much more shielded from responsibility. If product liability is involved, you will most likely bear the burden alone.
As a web designer, I face the same competition from offshore outsourcing that manufacturers face. There is a potential liability to this practice that will inevitably find some unsuspecting buyer facing serious legal problems. One highly publicized case could open a floodgate of trouble for many businesses.
Offshore designers routinely steal content from various sources. I have had content stolen on a regular basis, which falls under copyright infringement in the US. It is very difficult, probably impossible, for content owners to legally prosecute the thieves located offshore. However, if a US company had stolen content provided by an offshore source, they would be extremely vulnerable to a copyright infringement lawsuit. It is very unlikely they would be able to hold their offshore provider accountable either.
