I routinely buy things from other states if the price and/or quality
are better.

They are sometimes very mundane.
I recently bought a bunch of wheelstops for a new car park at by business
from Melbourne ($64 each and they look great ) instead of paying a concreter 
the $ 300 each that he wanted ( sure I could have haggled it down to 
$150 or so).

Buying from other countries is no different.

We are outsourcing all our notepads, stationery, business cards
and advertising materials to India.

I can get full colour glossy product for less than the price of 
locally made B&W bond product !
