I've noticed prices can vary quite a bit from store to store for the exact same item and postage option. For example, I've found Opticsplanet are always cheaper on freight than OPT, sometimes by quite a margin. As a result I've purchased items in the past from Opticsplanet because even after the member discount I get from OPT on the same purchase price, the cheaper freight makes opticsplanet a clear winner. It's frustrating though because Opticsplanet don't have as large an Astronomy range as OPT does.
However it is hard to complain at the moment with the Aussie dollar taking the sting out of it. I'm loving parity...
