Ive got a kitchen appliance I need, $100usd, they charge $320NZD here.

Is it cost effective to buy it from amazon or is the tax gonna kill the deal?

Sounds like a winner, have you checked the operating voltage, most likely only 110V, not 240v like we use here

amazon normally gives you a price for shipping.

I was looking at one of those breakfast muffin cookers off amazon. Already have a transformer. Why does the US get all the awesome cooking appliances?
