It does annoy me, as I prefer to buy local but when it takes anywhere up to a week and a half to ship in Oz vs three or four days ex USA it really doesn't encourage me to buy local....

Unless i need something yesterday, i dont buy in Aus, even with the $$ crapping out i can still get it quicker and cheaper, but there are some good Aussie suppliers and i often check them 1st, if i only wanted a bridge in a hurry, no use me spending $500 on an order of parts i dont really need.

On a side note PBG has probably the best deal i have seen on Grovers, if you buy them with a kit, great deal.
