Most companys I deal with who have asian manufacturers ship direct from asia. Some of the products I get are cheaper here than in the US & UK because the shipping from asia to AU is cheaper. I hope Celestron do the same.
However, when australian distributors place orders from multi national companys it equates to 1-2% of the worlds consumer turnover.
I have seen an Australian distributor trying to place an order and get laughed at and the US sales guy walked straight out of the room.
Like it or not AU is a light weight when it comes to our populations consumerism.
