Its ridiculous that the consumer than buy something from the states thats had a local sales tax, store mark up, extortionate shipping to NZ and gst when it lands and still save 25% on buying locally.

Even if you don't save much, it can still be better buying online as can often get a much better selection and easier to buy sometimes.
Half the time I import things just because the selection in NZ is so poor, its a pain in the arse when you struggle to find a single supplier here, and you look on Amazon and see 50 odd options online. I was trying to buy bits and pieces to make a rifle sling and some items that were widely available else where in the world just didn't exist here.

F#+k Amazon buy local retailers & the people working for them have to make a living to .
