You can buy them here for $250ea... Probably parallel imports but they would come from the same factory...

Someone should snap these up.....if I was in NSW I would grab them for future spares.

Just for interest ARB are charging $915 for a fitted snorkel in Darwin for a 3l D4... although they took a little off for me buy its still gonna cost $870..

and then the darwin arb employees spend their money in the local community and keep it all going around the loop

if you bought the uk snorkel and fitted it yourself there would be no money going around the loop on darwin. no one to buy your stuff or with money to employ you .

who gives customers the money to buy YOUR STUFF, you do indirectly!

Oz might be expensive but so are you compared to world labour rates.

I"m with tombie on this

I understand this logic very much as I used to work for a small business in a small and had to compete with a large city only an hour away when I lived in Canada. We would match prices and offer superior customer service, in doing this our customers were very happy as the got a great deal and didn't have to drive to the city to get here product or have it looked after. One of the biggest problems I find letting down businesses in Australia is the lack of customer service. I would love to buy local considering they would match prices within reason, but the businesses don't care anymore about there customer base. I think it's a vicious circle. At the end of the day I can say most customers want the top product at the bet price with the best customer service.
