Default Buying/shipping bicycles from Asia (TPE)

Anyone have any information on whether it is a good deal to buy and ship a high quality bicycle home to the States from Taipei?

I knew of several of our guys that had done that but have lost touch with them...I know Giant used to manufacture them in Taiwan, but don't have any details.

Any info is most appreciated...

Did some looking a couple of months back. If you are staying in Taipei it looks to be about an hour and a half of bus, train, cab and walk to the factory. Prices are roughly 2/3 US. If you are looking at a really top end road bike it might be worth the legwork.
