That's assuming the Kiwi Wholesaler or Retailer can cope with the generally much smaller margins the Guys in the States work on & that's got a lot to do with volume, 319 million VS 4.5 million people, not that hard to do the Math...

Yep we pay through the nose for some stuff for sure....

Yip somethings are over priced but thats the exception not the rule

Costs a lot to get stuff into the country to sell on.
Shitload cheaper to import personally.
