I live in Australia and for some reason conduit and joints are really really expensive. I've done some more searching and I can get joints for about 70c each here for water ones. Electrical ones are more expensive.
I really don't know why they are so expensive.... A 4m length of 25mm conduit is about $9.
I also live in a major city of about 4 million people so its not like it needs to be shipped miles.... Going to have to do some more searching.... I like how the conduit frames look but I can't justify $40 on a small frame...
The only thing I can think of is buildings are going up like mushrooms here at the moment and everyone is really really busy so demand is high and they can get away with charging what they like.
