We all want the lowest price and we want a convenient retailer near where we live. Sometimes you can't have both of those.

Hands up if you've bypassed NZ retailers to save money. In doing that you've increased the prices of the locally stocked items.

Sorry Cyclops but it's a free market didn't you say? Bypassing them is the reality of a free market and the age of internet. If you remember the time prior to parallel importing etc you will realise that the non-free market did not result in lower prices, better service etc (quite the opposite). Unfortunately with many retailers price is often decided by the landlords and their outrageous rent demands. Also shipping things like powder to NZ is nasty expensive.
