Don't know where exactly they get it from but it is manufactured in China. Once I thought I was missing a part of my dining table and when I called, they had it shipped from manufacturing facility in China. From my experience I can tell that it is the best value for your money - and the part was not missing - I misplaced it during unpacking and did not find it for a day.

Recommend this post if you think the idea of shooting satellite down is Comedic Gold <g> blog.wired.com "The cynic in me says that the idea that this is being done to protect the lives of humans is simply a feel-good cover story tossed to the media," another veteran space security specialist adds. "It is true that hydrazine is very toxic and could result injury or death, but the odds of this happening are minuscule. The average person in American is many thousands of times more likely to be killed in a car accident than by any falling debris. In fact, no one has ever been killed by space debris (I have heard of one or two being struck but only minor injuries). So pretty much everything else you can think of (including getting hit by an asteroid/comet) is many times more likely than dying from this. Having the US government spend millions of dollars to destroy a billion-dollar failure to save zero lives is comedic gold."
