Hey guys,
July 1st is creeping up and from then on, we will be charged GST on overseas purchases under $1000.
I haven't read into this very thoroughly so I don't know how it'll exactly work and who will have to do what.
One interesting point is that this is only applicable to overseas sellers who have more than $75k worth of sales to Australia.
First of all, I'd like to say I'm all for supporting Aussie business's but when it comes to certain parts (*cough* SRAM), the price difference of LBS vs OS is just too much.
Here's a list of all the OS online stores I have found some good deals on in the past:
