Dont forget for any company to import products into this country, customs and excise take a huge chunk of our money and this has to be carried by a lot of distributors regardless of what kind of product its is, I know it doesnt make it any easier for customers who end up paying for it, also exchange rates play a big part in this, add all that up and you end up with all of us paying more than we really want to whether its RC products or the food we eat, of course its easy to buy stuff from abroad ourselves but then when we do want something from a local supplier and they have gone bankrupt due to not being able to compete with the world market we all soon complain about it, not having a moan just feel the need to put everything into perspective, the global market is very hard to compete with and then when the goverment take a large part from us it hurts us all, ask yourself why we are a nation that import more than we produce and it wasnt like that before, in fact our production has steadily gone down since the early 80s.
