I've noted savings quoted on scopes and stuff but beware the hidden postage. I just ordered 2 aluminium Lee bullet moulds from USA at $US13.70 each (Total US27.40)
They charged me $US53.75 postage for a 1.5lb parcel and they are coming surface mail
I would have expected them hand delivered by friggin space shuttle for that price!

If we deliver it by space shuttle the parts would be scattered from Cape Cuvier to Fraser Island. Depending on winds aloft the hand would be about twenty miles south of Alice Springs.

I have order a book in the US, the book was 17$.
for package and shipment here to the kraut's I have pay 20$.
This are the moments when you think it's better to walking or take the bus and take it personal.

Even with expensive postage I have come out on top with the few things I have bought. Just got my redding .404 dies today in the mail. Bought them from Grafs on Friday last week and they arrived here this morning.

Stuffing around with an Aussie Gunshop would have meant months

The shipping is expensive. I sent a couple of items to Bwana Bob via USPS and it was $25 and up for a small box. These were simple software set ups for his computer. I was surprised at the cost.

For small items you might try and get someone to stick them in their luggage if they are traveling your way.
