Locally the same shocks are $996 or $249 each.
So from what i understand, the cost involved in these items staying withing Australia and going from the manufacturer to the retailer is nearly 9 times as much as sending them around the world?

That's what really stings, when you find Aussie made goods that are shipped across the world twice and sell for cheaper than you can buy them from here locally.
