Are you a musician on a budget finding it difficult to afford the equipment you need? Buying new equipment comes at a price , don’t we all know it! Pedals , keyboards , microphones come in a variety of brands and prices. If you are lucky enough to be based in the United States you will have access to the best prices on musical instruments. Unfortunately , those of you living in other countries such as Australia , China , Peru or Russia will advertise at much higher prices compared to USA stores. This is because the USA has been engaging in a price war between retailers for the last 20 years , which has ultimately led to prices dropping while USA retailers continue to offer lower and lower prices in order to win your sale. Other countries import guitars,microphones,dj gear etc from the same source as USA suppliers but generally sell the same items for a higher price because they lack this competitive market.



AudioShop International (www.audioshop.co) solve this problem by offering USA MAP prices (minimum advertised prices) to all international customers. Our products are shipped from the USA with free shipping and will , in most cases , save you a bundle when compared to your local prices. audioshop.co primarily ship to Australia , Russia , Germany , China , Japan , Peru and many other countries. Our musical equipment and pro audio catalogue are listed in USD prices.

For example , the standard industry microphone – the Shure SM57 Microphone ($99USD). The Shure SM57 is the world’s most popular microphone and we will use this item as an example to show the different prices being offered in different countries. Most USA retailers buy these microphones at wholesale for approximately $60USD and retail them for $99USD. In Australia , for example , this very same microphone can fetch up to $200AUD – how could this be? Largely , Australian retailers know that you can order online from overseas and be paying $99USD + postage costs which converts to approximately $150USD – Australian retailers will then add about 20% to this value and argue that they offer a full manufacturers warranty in order to justify their inflated prices.

This logic has led to prices in Australia , and many other countries , being inflated to a point where many musicians are very attracted to the idea of importing directly from the USA.

AudioShop.co (www.audioshop.co) offer this service and include free shipping on all purchases including pre-paid duties/taxies.
