    It costs money to buy things from America in New Zealand

    Which makes the total around 1:2

    Using google:
    1 U.S. dollar = 1.46391451 New Zealand dollars

    This means that 1 USD is the equivalent of around 1.5 NZD at the current exchange rate. So basically, the ratio is about 1:1.5. The exchange rate fluctuates so don't bother with conversions until it's close to the date you'll be ordering the pens.

    It would be around 1:1.5 if it didn't cost any extra to buy things from overseas =/

    We aren't calculating the exchange rate, were calculating the total cost of which the items are bought at...

    My dad sais around double, and he does management accounting so I'd listen to him =P

    The calculations don't work that way. The shipping cost is seperate to the cost of the pens. Shipping cost depends on the total weight of the pens in pounds.

    From http://penwish.com/information.php?info_id=4, "International Express Shipping (Outside US) - Starts at $30.99 up to half pound. $4 for each additional half pound."

    -----

    First calculation:
    Total cost of pens in USD * 1.5 = Total cost of pens in NZD

    Second calculation:
    30.99 * 1.50 + (total pounds - 0.50) * 4.00 * 1.50 = Total shipping cost of pens in NZD
    -Assuming the total weight of the pens in pounds is over 0.5 pounds and assuming you're using International Express Shipping

    (EDIT)

    -Pounds are rounded up in 0.50.

    I'm not talking about shipping D=

    It costs more to buy things overseas than it costs actually going over to the country its self

    Assuming you mean how much it costs in NZD to purchase from penwish which is priced in USD.

    Unless NZ has some gay import tax, you just owned yourself, assuming you do buy stuff from overseas that have a stronger currency than NZ. Oh wait, isn't that all of western society?
