As a spectator here, I have a foot in both camps. I agree with Jim, we should be looking at local, not overseas, but if Jason is right, and the same product is available in Australia for a significantly lower price you have to question this.
Both AstroNz and Bintel (as well as other Aussie dealers) presumably source their respective products from the same place. The distances, and duties etc are similar (ignore the 10% vs 12.5% GST for a moment).
So the same product should be very similar in price whether in NZ, or Aust, surely. If not, then why not. I don't have any desire to make this a slanging match, and class myself as an AstroNz customer as well, but find the mentality that just because we are a smaller market we need to pay more. Is it all down to quantity, that is Aust dealers buy bigger amounts, and therefore attract a better price?
