Besides the fact that most of the software Australia gets is packaged
in Asia (mainly Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand at the moment), and I
believe most of the software in the US is either in Asia or in Central
and South America. Hence no matter how much the US gets it for, Aus
should get it at a similar price too...

This does not only apply to software by the way, plenty of other types
of goods have the same sort of price 'inflation' in Australia. What is
more shocking is that not enough people are asking why, and too many
are just paying the shelf prices.

 retailers profiting on the strong dollar, forcing our interest rate up
 because they are getting richer and making the economy stronger.

 There is no argument at all, like I said I bought a 160gig ipod, that
 retails here for $477 (AUD) by it from apple it is $390.00 or was when
 I bought it. Had it shipped by a friend at a grand total of $400.00
 (AUD)

 So did I pay duty? Did I pay anything but postage, there is a little
 known fact that companies (Know this from the games industry) lie
 about the true value of the package to avoid all this.

 I mean I rememebr 10 x Playstation development kits in 1990 come into
 the country at a value of $25,000 (aud) go down as being worth $10 to
 avoid such duties / taxes.

 If you think that a company the size of Adobe can;t do the same you a
 wrong, they already do. And profit from our ignorance, or lack of
 ability to stand up to them.

 Remember been down this road before when Vista was released, the ACCC
 is looking into this practice by business / companies.

2007-12-12 Thread Kai Koenig

Thanks for being a voice of reason in this discussion, Barry.

You're so 100% right - people who bugger of buying through
a friend of a friend of a friend who lives in the US to save
x AU$/NZ$ in fact should keep their voices pretty much down
when it comes to topics such as Why isn't my local Adobe
office not doing X/Y/Z etc ? in the future.

Just looked up the current $ figures of that thread.

If the figure of US$1200 is correct, that (as of right 
now) coverts to AU$1353. As the pricing of US$1200 is
without any sales tax, let's look at the actual cost of
importing a physical product with the value of US$1200:

Customs value (Cval)
1353.00 

Customs duty (Duty) @ 5% of Cval
77.65   (Payable) 

International transport and insurance or postage (TI)  
???, let's assume it's 50.00 dollars

Value of the Taxable Importation (VoTI) (Cval+Duty+TI) 
1480.65 

Goods and Services Tax (GST) @ 10 per cent of the VoTI  
148.07  (Payable) 

Total payable Duty + GST
225.72

That means your REAL cost for importing the product are AU$1578.72
NOT including the assumed AU$50.00 for TI (those have just
been used for the GST calculation). Oh, also don't forget
that if you pay with an AU credit card in the US, there
probably will be something like 1-3% additional foreign
currency use charges from your CC company.

I can't really say anything to the figure of AU$1700 which was
mentioned, but if the latter is true, we're not too far off
anymore, are we?

Oh, btw: Don't think you can fool the tax people with arguing
that you're not actually importing anything by downloading
stuff and getting an electronic license key. Both AU and NZ
have tax regulations for so called reverse GST charging and
duty in such a scenario, i.e. if you want to do it the proper
way and avoid any trouble with potential tax evasion in an
audit, you won't get around paying it :)

Look, I'm not trying to convince anyone to buy locally,
do whatever you think is right. But at least compare apples 
with apples and do the maths before you jump on any 
cheapish-sounding price in US$, really.

Cheers,
Kai



I wonder if buying in Australia has benefits other than price?

I mean, that there's an Adobe Australia office here in Australia, New
Zealand now has it's own Adobe man on the ground and there's even
dedicated ColdFusion people (eg Mark Blair who put on the recent
CFCAMP around the country).

I'm thinking it may be hard to justify another CFCAMP if Australian
sales are actually U.S sales.

I'm just guessing, OK? I'm not an Adobe reseller...

[cfaussie] Re: Coldfusion 8 purchase

2007-12-11 Thread Andrew Scott
I no longer buy from Australia anymore, for that exact reason. I have a
friend in the states that ships it on to me and with postage it is so much
cheaper than here.

 

In fact A Current Affair ran a story last week on this, because the fact is
that while most shops profit from the extra cash from the strong dollar. In
the long run it is going to throw interest rates even higher.

Not a 100% fair comparison due to Duty and GST.

 

PS: People who sell it in AU might think it's bad if you purchase direct
from the US, but in reality this is happening everywhere. People are buying
direct with low freight and a good $AU its very common, and not just for
software.

What is the current price on purchasing Coldfusion 8 Standard, from adobe it
is approx $1200 USD but they want $1700 (AUD) which is a rip off when the
conversion rate should bring it down to around $1300 (AUD) approx.

 

We are ready to purchase now, so anyone know a great place to purchase at a
reasonable price.

Also,

 

If you can get your hands on an earlier version, an upgrade is even better
value.

Yeah but with the AUD the way it is $1300 is the correct conversion price.
