I'd agree with WW - order it online from the US. You will pay half the price, it will be here in a week and as long as the order is under $1000 it's tax free so no hassles. It's a no brainer. Same goes for most other US brands like Marmot. ArcTeryx you will struggle because they don't allow (US) retailers to ship overseas though. Go on american Ebay if you know exactly what you want, some good savings there too. Lots of the sellers are actually 'shops' that just happen to sell through Ebay so it's brand new stuff and you have got more security than buying from an individual.

There have been plenty of past chockstone threads on which (retailer) websites to go to.

One final word on shopping online from the US - watch the postage charges, they vary wildly so make sure you know what you're up for and factor it in.
