You, the buyer, hold the ultimate power in your choice to buy or not, and from whom.

The AUD has appreciated quite rapidly from about 65c just two months ago.
Any retailer currently holding stock purchased from China probably paid at around that level. If you want to take advantage of current rates you would have to import the goods yourself and be control of the timing of payment.
