Oh, man. That sucks. What about sites like Amazon? I know that for some of my foreign relatives (living in Germany) it wasn't too bad to order something off Amazon and have it shipped there.

It's not that bad, not always, depends on the courier service being used.

But yeah, this sort of thing is something all Aussies who shop online are used to seeing!

But it is a laugh to see this when talking about shopping online!

Same here...
Amazon.com is great, but shipping is LITERALLY the same price as the product, I wanted to buy a new laptop but it is not feaseble with those international shipping fees

You know it just ends up being easier to buy it from a local store with some cool discount going on.
Not always, bought some great fishing rods from The USA last year with free shipping to Australia, so idk if the store made a mistake on their Ebay listing or not, it worked out great.
