1407278 2015-08-22 23:27:00 Thats because its coming from Amazon in the USA, not NZ, the pricing is generally lower doing it from them. wainuitech (129)
1407279 2015-08-22 23:33:00 Very well aware it's from Amazon

1407280 2015-08-25 23:27:00 That's a pretty solid price, I recently got a MX100 256gb from amazon for $132NZD shipped. sahilcc7 (15483)

Is that including shipping to NZ , not just std shipping inside the US?
currency converter show it as being NZ$137, without shipping. So saving $40ish , loosing usable warranty .

1407282 2015-08-26 00:40:00 This is their International Shipping Rates www.amazon.com

Still deciding but might pull the pin

You'd still get warranty though amazon, you just gotta send it back...

That Brand SSD would be unlikely to fail anyway, Id assume.

1407285 2015-08-27 08:42:00 Yes its a tricky one.
Is a fourty dollar saving enough?
To some people that could be a lot of money.
To others it just pocket money.

Why do NZ retailers need to make an extra $40 on top of what they make in the States.
If you buy it from Amazon, I would send the receipt to a few NZ shops to wake them up.

When you think about it, the average kiwi has to work all morning to get that much cash after tax.

.

yep, lets bankrupt all NZ retailers
Margins on consumer IT equipment is often paper thin, I doubt the lower priced NZ sellers will even be making
$40 on that .
yep ,Lets compare a NZ PC shops prices , who might sell 1 per week, to one of the biggest online retailers in the
world selling them in the hundreds per week (if not more)

since we want lower retail prices, lets drop the NZ min wage to that of China

same argument applies below
Why do NZ workers need to make an extra $300 per week on top of what they make in Asia.
