Can I share a thought?
My order list atm is:
1 X Woman's Handbag = US$153 (locally priced at A$423 @ David Jones)
1 X Woman's coin purse = US$110 (locally priced at A$220 @ DavidJones)
1 X Pod Filter = US$52 (locally priced at A$100 @ Rocket Industries)
1 X Laptop motherboard = US$91 (locally priced at A$363)
All weighing next to nothing.
If you ask me to send your GReddy exhaust or a set of lowering springs, yours will be the HEAVIEST item in the box and the bulk of the postage costs will then be liable by you.
Sure it helps me but you'll think I've ripped you off since if we divided the cost of the shipment by weight, Your exhaust or springs will be by far the heaviest by percentage..
Then you people will say I've ripped you off which is not the intention.
Also what about insurance? Say I help you bring in a set of headlights, my friend will obviously have to record its value. Say for the sake of this discussion the box contents are worth A$990 (under the tax import threshold), but your head lamps because they're US$400, I need to pay more money for the added insurance of having your head lamps added to the box.
So guys please think this through.
I'm not here to rip anyone off.
I'm here to help. Please spend some time on your part also thinking through what you want to buy and how this might or might NOT help you.
I would say if you want a GReddy Touch Informeter, sure, it's cheaper in the US and weighs like a walkman, sure go ahead.
A GReddy exhaust? You're best going to Advanced Speed Shop or negotiating to get it yourself. If you have a problem negotiating with Adv Speed Shop, and want me to broker the deal, sure, but what one idiot can do, so can another?
