*empty promises: sometimes the shops you will find cant deliver what you absolutely need when you need it, they just do not have the technology or resources to provide you with the quality you are looking for, many countries have poor infrastructure with communication failures and can not contruct the delivery as promised.

*most shops in Asia are small and cannot do a wide variety of jobs, they might not be able to do everything you absolutely need for all your projects, youll end up looking for other shops for each different project. They may not be able to provide you with after sales maintenance and services.
