I completely understand where people are coming from in terms of price - Now that I live in the UK, DMM gear is at least half the price here than it is in Australia. I am a little shocked at how much things cost in Australia.

But, I think you guys also need to remember that when you purchase from overseas suppliers, DO NOT expect that your local retailer who stocks the same items are going to return it under warranty, as the warranty for your product is in the country where you purchased your Items.

We're all trying to stay afloat in this business, so why don't you keep the money in the country?

It used to annoy me so much when people would expect the importer of a certain items to replace/repair their gear under warranty, even though they didn't purchase from them- thus the company/supplier is losing money. I don't think it's very fair. I know you guys probably won't (and should hope not) be having issues with climbing gear in general, but when you purchase online, think about these things too!!
