Yeah sometimes depending on what it is the savings aren't huge and personally not worth it just to save a few quid and run a kiwi company under.
BUT sometimes if you dig deep enough into the google machine there are some real good savings to be had from sites putting on specials.
SWFA is one, and apparently they now ship direct to NZ.
I think this is where people get a bit frustrated with buying locally. As sometimes it seems that kiwi companies are trying to make their millions off of a single sale, whether that be true or not is only sometimes the case.
