Why don't you guys import stuff? Even with shipping, VAT and duty fees is should be cheaper, me thinks.

It used to be this way but the Customs has closed some loopholes and now it's not also it takes two to three days for delivery from within NZ but could take upto a month when coming from overseas

when converted from USD $270 to NZD = $389.39 + 20% Duty + shipping + 15% GST (yup they charge 15% gst on the whole cost not just the device)(VAT for those overseas) vs cost to buy here in Gougelandastan $612NZD + $5 pnp including GST. Would most likely come out to about the same price it's our powers that be way to encourage people to buy local rather than import because local twats pissed n moaned about it because they reckoned they couldn't compete yeah well that's what ya get when all you wanna do is not be competitive in pricing and want make wads of money

Welp, I'd still ship from overseas, just in some attempt to give it to the gouglers. It can alwyas backfire badly but...
