One reason would be that the shipping costs from Taiwan or China to Australia is considerably cheaper than to the UK. Our import duty and tax adds another 25%to the price. As an importer of large quantities of kits it would be foolish to try and dodge the duty but some do. Also for some reason their delivery is far better value for money.
