About Time

It is about time that someone has challenged the Australian system regarding pricing of goods, especially music, books and fashion. It is absolutely amazing to me that I can purchase items from the US, ship them to
Sydney and that find that same shoe in the store and I still have saved money.

Example:
iTunes
Current single download in the US 1.29 in OZ it's over $2.

Books:
Two for $40 specials in the windows and these are not hardback books.

The parity and strength of the Australian Dollar versus the Greenback is really highlighting this issue
as Ozzies are are doing more online shopping at US and UK sites.  The Australian retailers have not
grasped the power of online shopping and are crying out that online shopping will shutter their doors.
It may but it won't be because of shopping overseas, it will be because they are not competitively priced.
