Check out flyingpig.co.nz, a local version of ama$on.com.

If you are wondering whether flyingpig.co.nz will actually fly, they are, IMHO, trading on the differential in shipping costs viz ama$on.com as much as anything.

Paying for FedEx to New Zealand (in US dollars) usually makes buying from amazon a break-even (-ish) proposition, compared to what the Auckland (NZ) branch of Borders charges.
