Comparison of prices for online home brew suppliers in NZ

A little while ago I did a bit of a price comparison between the home brew suppliers I could find in new Zealand. Based on this I settled on Hauraki Homebrew as my supplier. This was based purely on price and range. I have popped in there in person a couple of times, but I haven't really tested out their knowledge and advice, so i can't comment on this aspect.

 With the GST changes that we've just had, I thought it was worth doing another quick price comparison of the main online suppliers.  I've taken a sample of the more common ingredients and compared the relative prices.

I've also compared their shipping policy which can end up influencing the decision.

These are the stores I've compared:
Hauraki Homebrew
Brewshop.co.nz
Liberty Brewing
Dunedin Malthouse

I've excluded non-online stores. I've also excluded online stores I couldn't find with Google :)

The ingredients I've compared are as follows:
Yeast:
SafBrew S-33
Safale S-04
Safale US-05
Saflager S-23
Safwheat WB-06

Hops (100gm pellets):
Local:
Nelson Sauvin
Nz Hallertau
Sticklebract

Imported:
Cascade
Centennial

Malt extract:

Wheat Malt (1kg)
Chocolate Malt UK (1kg)

Beer kits:
