I was looking at kids books yesterday and found a set of 'feelings' books, but it was $108... Checked on lazada.sg and it was $32... They may hate it, but $70

I was looking at kids books yesterday and found a set of 'feelings' books, but it was $108... Checked on lazada.sg and it was $32... They may hate it, but $70 difference is too much. If it was like $50 I would have just bought the set while at the store...

I've found a 30% upcharge is what to expect here in the US. Depending on shipping you may even save money.

This is why a lot of countries have a "fixed book price" system: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed_book_price https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed_book_price

  ...so that the price would be $108 everywhere?

    Whatever the printer decides. The idea is to prevent price cutting/dumping by large enterprises and keep local stores afloat while ensuring decent pay for authors, translators etc. - all in all it has served us well.
