TrueKit price in Australia, with nothing hidden

TrueKit ships from New Zealand. By the time GST, freight, insurance and customs clear, the Discovery 4.0 lands at roughly the same price as our Aerowave Viper 400 — except you're holding 0.9 mm VALMEX, not 1.2 mm. Here are the real numbers, side by side.

FAQs about TrueKit landed pricing in Australia

Is TrueKit actually cheaper than Easy Inflatables once it lands in Australia?

On the sticker, sometimes yes by a few hundred. Once you add 10% GST on import, trans-Tasman freight (sea or air), insurance and customs clearance, TrueKit lands at roughly the same price as our Aerowave Viper 400 — except you waited weeks longer and you're holding 0.9 mm fabric instead of 1.2 mm.

Why is your shipping free when TrueKit charges for theirs?

Our stock sits in our Central Coast NSW warehouse. We ship DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) Australia-wide — the price you see is the price you pay. TrueKit ships from New Zealand, so every boat has to clear customs and freight on arrival into Australia.

Is the cheaper option always the right one?

No. Look at landed cost (not sticker), material thickness (1.2 mm vs 0.9 mm), warranty length and which country's consumer law protects you. Cheap upfront often means expensive later.
