    PRICE INCREASE

    Hasn't taken long for the sports retailers to start warning of price increases with the $ dropping, didn't see any price reductions when the $ was up in the 80's.

    We are being screwed again. Just wait until the turds in charge manage to apply GST and an inspection fee too all your imports.

    Its pretty easy to work out, look at the US price divide it by 0.64 or 0.65, then chuck $20-60 USD on for freight. whack on GST at 15% + $40-50 for customs duties & then freight from the wholesaler & there you have it.

    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....

    Yep for sure.

    A lot of stuff Guys just don't see or realise, Export permits, CC, brokers, Bio security, customs fees, etc etc, then the bloody dollar drops even more...

    Yes but importing wholesale in bulk is always cheaper. Lots of small shops paying over bloated leases to greedy landlords doesn't help.

    No one NZ imports in bulk compared to Walmart etc in the States.

    Economies of scale.

    I recall the local Toyota Dealer telling me that one Toyota Franchise in California, Long beach IIRC, sold more Toyotas in a month than all of NZ, I thought , Yeah Rite....

    I drove past a Dealership in Escondido last year it was bloody enormous, couldn't believe my eyes....
