SPECIFIC Names of Reliable outsourcers and agencies?

Hi guys,

I know all about the usual places to outsource work, odesk, elance, getafreelancer, here on the wf, other marketing forums, fiverr, etc.

What I am looking for is a RELIABLE offshore team, but honestly 99% of the providers on these types of websites are just NOT reliable for various reasons. I know people just suggest to "weed through" these websites...and I've done it...it is not fun...you might get one or two good people that eventually flake out in my experiences.

Who do you guys work with and have experience working with? I realize you get what you pay for, but is looking to pay 3-4 fulltime people at around $5 an hour each an even remote possibility anymore?

If you have experience working with specific offshore agencies, teams, etc,...I AM ALL EARS.

Even scanning the marketing forums for "VA teams" and what not often leads to dead-ends, banned users, and many complaint threads.

Who are the offshore providers that actually deliver, but don't cost U.S. minimum wage? If they cost minimum wage here, then what is the point?

They've gotta exist out there somewhere...
