The cost of living here is very high. Goods, especially electronics, cost a lot more than the USA. Electronics costing 50% more here than in the USA is common.

I disagree with the comment left by lostlogin, I have found most products on Amazon ship to New Zealand, including products sold by third parties, though I would agree fewer independent stores are shipping to New Zealand. I think this is partly due to prices increases from the likes of Fedex and USPS. Amazon Australia ships to NZ but the product selection is very poor.
