Note that both competitors / resellers do not carry stock!
Total Tools have a crazy "order fullfilment model" where you order on line, the order is sent to your "local" store for fullfilment, then they order from supplier to store, and dispatch per customer directions. Oh, and the local store ring to ask "do you really want that?" as if it's a PIA to them to serve you. Been there on several occasions - a real PIA.
Carbatec have a price matching policy - Carbatec Information

I don't know if it is still true but Bunnings Special Orders desk used to sell out of the Carbatec catalog.
I wonder where they are getting their Kreg stock from?Franklin

Just curious - what router is it designed to take? Looks like just the body of a trim router (e.g. Makita) which might not have enough grunt for larger router bits. Doesn't look like it will fit any standard plunge router like Triton or DeWalt 621.

What is even more alarming is Bunnings, Total tools,and Sydney tools , now sell exactly the same products at exactly the same price.
Too my mind there’s some seriously doggie stuff going on there, Price fixing an what’s the government doing about it.
We are going down the same vomit inducing Model, that now covers the United States, same S…… same stores identical, different locations, same S …. Service.

Has the OP set a test for us here? I'm surprised that no posters have noted that the product is neither a router table, nor branded Carbatec, as the subject line would lead us to expect.
