Not in last 12 months admittedly. Zee Germans have been too cheap to go past.Have you bought rockshox from merlin recently ? Says no shipping to aus. Or do you use a freight forwarder ?
They'll find you. Likely they will want you to prove the purchase was really under $1000 and the invoice isn't falsified. Hit crc up for a pdf of the Invoice, that should be enough.Ordered some parts on CRC on friday for $102 -- a few hours later I saw a frame on clearance and bought it for $966..
Tracking says they despatched "3 hours" apart from each other. I'm wondering if I will get screwed by customs?
Also, I dont believe CRC put my email or phone on the package. Is it up to me to call customs when and if it appears to be stuck with them?
Really hoping they just pass both parcels through without a glitch .. I've heard they can add the value of parcels together
It's dark magic ... the route by which any package leaves their Ireland HQ and arrives at its destination. I ordered Thur last week and it's "left London". That's all I know.Well amazingly both items turned up today about 3 hours apart from each other, no customs interference or anything/
Also paid on Friday afternoon and they arrived today, under 72 hours to my door is pretty good for free shipping
Man, I'm going to have to order a lot of stuff to offset buying a new house on a mail route! out:Don't get stuff sent to PO Boxes... it adds a day or two
Ozzybmx you might be onto something there, but suspect it's worth checking either way; I recalc'd a recent order in GBP and it worked out ~$40AUD worse at the checkout if I'd selected in GBP. Who knows.
We are meant to be saving 20% GST on UK prices !!!I agree there's something fishy on crc. Has anyone ordered in GBP? I was looking at a frame and it's about 61 AUD cheaper in GBP.
Wouldn't call it flux, the pound has been shit vs. the Aussie since Brexit - around 61 pence per dollar at present when it used to hover around 50-55. It's still no excuse for online stores not to use current exchange rates for transactions. Paypal currency conversion premium is 4% for GBP to AUD (link), and how they calculate exchange rates here, although it's not clear if the 2.5% they add to their wholesale exchange rate is in addition to the currency conversion rate?I think from talking to a work colleague yesterday the GBP is in a bit of flux at the moment compared to our AUD. However I think whatever amount saved by making payment in another currency would work out the same as either paypal or the bank would probably have some kind of currency conversion fee.
Nice to be able to send stuff from family.
