Good stuff J, it's on the list.

I will be ordering in around 48 hours!

Are there any Melbourne people happy to take delivery? It will save on half the people's shipping costs.

OK.

I calculated shipping based on what we have ordered:

FedEx Priority International = $105.77
USPS Priority Mail International = $116.33

That's $15.80 AUD each from US to my place.

Would it be another 10 bucks each from my address in Canberra to all y'all places?

yeah probably, and FedEx the go in my opinion. Thanks for organising this BTW but how are you going to divvy up the credit card rewards??
Send me a pm with your bank details and I'll transfer my share when you work it all out...

I'd be wary of FedEx. From memory the import rules are different whether it comes by post or courier. Under $1k by post means no GST but for courier it's a lower threshold, around $500 from memory. Also the couriers often try to slug you extra for customs clearing. I've always used USPS from Freestyle & the order arrived in about one week with no extra charges.

I've used both for orders over 500 with not problem, but I'll USPS. It's only a couple of bucks extra.
I'll absorb all credit card points

I'll PM people shortly with my details.

I'll have to recalculate shipping for people.
Guys, Please don't pay me if you haven't done so.

I'll reimburse the people who have.

Sorry, didn't think anyone else would opt in.

Ok It'll be less than 2 dollars each less so let's just keep the original prices and if there is any left over after shipping I'll reimburse people.

Getting payment organised today; scheduled it for yesterday but cat's six-monthly roadworthy and distemper shots intervened.
Bang goes $200, and the fur flies...

Just an update guys.
Freestlye don't let people use credit card for their first order so I had to do an international bank transfer.
I did that last Monday and as of today, Saturday, they still haven't got the money.

It might not be till next week that they actually ship the goods.

I know, C***S they are.

All good man, the shipping was a bit less than they quoted which covered the bank fees. It was only 35 bucks or something. Thanks anyway.

OK, another update.
This is getting annoying.

My international money transfer was returned. I don't know why. I've emailed Marv from freestyle asking him to just accept the credit card and be done with it.

The order may take a bit longer than it would usually.

Thanks guys.
