    I would do the group buy with SRD and then do local shipping to get everyone what they need. The only problem there is the whole trust issue. I have read very little on here about guys getting burned, but it has happened.

    For anyone in NZ interested in shipping to NZ this is an example of what I brought and what the shipping was:

    1 x Straight Razor Designs Lynn Abrams Modular Paddle (819) = $89.99
    1 x Naniwa Super Stone 1000 Grit in Stand (473) = $32.99
    1 x Naniwa Value Pack - 5000, 8000 & 12000 Grit Stones (1882) = $173.99
    1 x Norton WaterStone Combo 4000/8000 Grit (487) = $78.99
    1 x Norton WaterStone Combo 220/1000 Grit (486) = $37.99
    1 x DMT 8" Dia-Sharp Continuous Diamond Coarse - 325 (218) = $46.99
    ------------------------------------------------------
    Sub-Total: $460.94
    United States Postal Service (1 Boxes) (17 lbs, 12 oz) (Priority Mail
    International&reg: $109.49
    Total: $570.4

    Prices were pretty dam good (some say you might get cheaper on ebay but you WONT get all of those with combined shipping)
    I looked and it was hard to find someone selling all the same brand and nobody had all brands to combine if you know what I mean

    Plus SRD is gonna back those products and make sure you're happy. When I buy on the bay I assume I'm never gonna get anything else outta that seller customer service wise. SRD has great customer service.

    Ordered on June 24th, shipped 25th and received a letter from NZ Post saying customs has my package pending for release on the 04th July ( dam customs I think it was because it was addressed to my business name and now I have to tell them its personal items not for sale etc)

    Been down that road,anything over $300 you pay, the only way to avoid that one was to split it into 2 packages.
