When you do the math, They are quite large and heavy shipping wise and those costs, plus insurance are built into the local price plus local support, which is great and they are quick they are quick to respond to any queries.

It is not too bad compared to all the other domes for sale especially the prices.
I get that - I really wish there was a local maker of these sort of products here, but I guess it is not cost effective given the market size.

I notice though that nexdome seem to have a fixed shipping cost of 2600, no matter how many you order - so In theory you could save a few thousand by a bulk buy of 4 or 5. I will be sticking with my astro tent for a while though.
