A whole infrastructure will have to be created, staffed and funded to do it.

Just look at it this way, all the people on the scrapheap due to automation and offshoring of jobs can get local jobs manually handling all the bits. The system still wont fully pay for itself, but the reduction in dole payments would help to offset it.
I gotta say, i find some of the comments in this thread rather selfish.
Everyone wants the cheapest products, many made in slavery/slum conditions by people on starvation wages, whilst also wanting to live in a country like ours, with all its benefits ( paid for by taxes ).
If you want truly cheap products, emigrate to a low cost country.
