Are you quoting from the meritline address for which Erica provided the 
URL , or some other?    I cannot find any quote for $110 in the 
meritline web pages.  They have spindles of "Accu" brand DVD-R's and 
the price for 200 discs is $US158  .    When  international freight  of 
$42 is added the unit price becomes  $US1.00.   You are quite right  
ie. when buying in these quantities there is quite a savings on the 
Australian price of $3 which equates to around $US1.80.  A spindle of 
100 discs would work out to be around $A2.10 each (85c + 42c = $US1.27) 
and is certainly still worth it.

It turns out the Canberra warehouse is out of stock anyway due to the 
Asian slowdown for their Chinese New Year and it is not expected that 
fresh supplies will be to hand for several weeks.

Thanks for your input. Much appreciated.
