Hmm.. its just annoying how you are paying a huge premium just to buy things over here, but if you get ALOT of things from US or what ever, then the postage starts getting expensive.

For a carabiner I could get for 12 pounds in England (19AU)

costs 45AU here.

Look, im sure that every e-tailer and shop in Australia should recognize that WE are the consumer buying their products. There is nothing wrong with just trying to seek out the cheapest price possible. And yeah sure you can support them, which is what i'd like to do.

And yes, they give you a 20% discount if your a member, just remember that they are never losing money by giving you a 20% discount.

They make a profit on the original sale price (lets say 30% for example.)
If you are member, "free" discount, 20% off. So that's still 10% profit. Basic business here. :/
