'Aussies ripped off
Australian retailers must explain why they charge huge mark-ups on products that cost half as much from overseas internet companies, consumer group Choice says.
And global companies with a presence in Australia prevent local customers taking advantage of cheaper prices offered on their overseas websites, it says.
In its submission on Friday to the Productivity Commission's retail inquiry,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Choice says the strong Australian dollar should enable local retailers to pass on savings to their customers.
It has found that the same pair of Nike running shoes costs $240 at a major Australian sports retailer while consumers can buy the same shoes for $134 from an online store based in the US.
Choice says the top 12 music albums cost 73 per cent more if purchased from the Australia iTunes store instead of the US iTunes store.
But Australians are barred from using US iTunes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
The popular video game Portal 2 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 costs 91 per cent more from a major Australian online retailer than from a website based in Asia,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
"There are too many examples, from white goods to motorcycles and TVs to video games, where we pay more," Choice campaigns director Christopher Zinn said in a statement.
"It's up to those in the supply chain here in Australia to justify why this is the case,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
"Importers and retailers should not cry foul if consumers chase better prices, wherever they may be."
Last December, big retailers such as Harvey Norman,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Borders, Target and David Jones waged a campaign against the $1000 GST-free threshold for retail products purchased overseas.
They labelled it unfair and argued it would cost jobs.
The National Retail Association representing 3700 small shops followed suit.
The debate urged the federal government to announce a Productivity Commission inquiry into the future of Australia's retail industry.
On Friday, Choice said overseas retailers offered better prices, better service and a much larger range of products.
Eliminating the GST-free threshold would do nothing to dissuade Australian customers from continuing to enjoy big savings from buying online.
Choice also attacked global retailers with a presence in Australia for preventing the use of Australian credit cards on their overseas sites.
"We are challenging global corporations to drop the artificial technological barriers used to block competitive prices online,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], such as those affecting software and music downloads," Mr Zinn said.
"There is no reason why Australians should pay more than consumers in comparable countries for digitally delivered items like software."
The Productivity Commission has been asked to report on the current structure,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], performance and efficiency of the retail sector and the broader issues contributing to the increase in online purchasing by Australian consumers.
I currently organizing a holiday in south America and I was really surprised at the discrepancy between what the same companies charge Aussies vs US. Eg. A tour in Brazil run by Kumuka. Aussie price $2100. US price $1600. Now this is for the exact same trip on exact same dates,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], for purchase online from the same website. With the Aussie $ currently stronger than the US there is no justification for this. Kumuka isn the only company doing it either. Good thing about Kumuka is if booking online you have the option to change currency and pay the cheaper price. Other companies such as Tucan don allow that option. Blatant rip off
This is indeed a rip of. And sure the gov maynot do anything as there will a loss of income for them ,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. So best thing to do is hop on a plane and go to any asian country and do you shopping,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. 300%ore value for sure. Wake up and don get ripped of in the name of buy Aussie slogan . Commercial things never to be bought local as the are not made here anyway but please buy the local produce
