What about price matching to Amazon Prime. For example your &quot;Anker PowerPort 5 40W 5-Port USB Charger (AU Plug)&quot; runs for $44.95 (which is lower then retail at $49.99 according to your site) yet on amazon I can get it through prime (same shipping) for only $23.99. I don&#x27;t see why the extra money should be charged especially since I could save money as long as this unit lasts longer then 9 months by just buying them from Amazon? The same can be found for almost everything that I am searching for. The SanDisk Ultra is the one thing I see that is not heavily marked up, as well as some of the really cheap cables.<p>Other examples: &quot;1MORE Piston Classic In-Ear Headphones with Microphone and Remote&quot; $39.99 (Amazon Prime $19.99) &quot;Anker Nylon Braided Tangle-Free Micro USB Cable (0.9m)&quot; $9.95 (sale from $11.99) (Amazon Prime $4.99)<p><i>side note</i> The prices I&#x27;m looking at are from Amazon USA so maybe that is why your sticking to AU only?
