With the Nexus 7 II coming out I saw the USD price at $229 ($294NZD). I recently received an email from PBTech advertising the price of the Nexus 7 II at $551NZD. Isn't that a bit ridiculous? That's $257 more than the USD price. What is the justification for this price tag? Aren't the Tablets made in China?
Generally with PBTech also they're usually the cheaper option so retails stores might be more expensive.. Plus you can spend a few extra dollars and get an iPad.
The distance from China to USA compared to China to NZ isn't that far off is it? Why don't they directly ship it from China?
Why are we being blatantly ripped off here? We are paying an extra $257 for this. And GST can't be used as an excuse.
