Shop USA UK Australia or International. Your online shopping concierge.

Have an existing mail forwarder but missing a local payment method such as a credit card or they don't send to freight forwarders? We can purchase the item and send it to your Hopshopgo, Shipito, MyUSA addresses!

Ever wanted to buy or purchase something online but unsure as to how to pay or ship the item back to Australia?

Ever had the issue where you tried to order & buy online from the USA but they do not accept your credit card?

Maybe you don’t have a local address in USA, Hong Kong, Japan, United Kingdom or Australia?

Perhaps you have found an online shop or eBay to buy from in USA which offers no international shipping or the shipping prices are expensive for a small order to Australia?

We work on a service fee basis which is 8% of the order value on a per order basis, no membership required and no monthly spend requirement. 50% off our fees at 4%, Please refer to the end of the post;

Tips: The major component of International purchases is the shipping cost. To make the most out of it, order more items online and combine them into a single box / package. We can combine items from different stores and repack them into a single package. This will bring your average cost per item shipped down as airfreight shipping is based on weight and volumetric dimension whichever is greater.

UK shipping is more expensive than the USA for low cost items such as shoes and clothing, look for them in USA as we are unable to provide an extensive range of shipping options out of the United Kingdom.

Try us out , Enter the coupon code " OzBargain " in the Quote form to receive a 50% discount on our service fee reduced to 4% instead of the usual 8% service fee. Our minimum service fees charge of $15AUD for all orders. This offer ends 30/6/2011 at 11:59 AEST

      Don't forget to factor in import tax.

      • overlook on 22/06/2011 - 23:38

        less than 1000 no tax. thats why gerry norman is not happy. Even with 10% tax still cheaper than getting here is the fact tho

        edit: doesnt apply to this case LOOL. didnt see its apple

    • Associatedvincent @ buy4me.com.au on 23/06/2011 - 10:40

      We don't think its feasible to import the iMac.

      The basics facts are;

      $2468USD is without Sales Tax

      If you add the basic Los Angeles Sales Tax (CA) 9.75% without factoring in the California Electronic Waste Recycling Fee.

      The price will become $2708.63 + Shipping

      The shipping dimensions are 30x24x9inch @ 43lbs (20KG)
      Using the United States Postal Service Postage Calculator, The postage came out to be $398.00USD
      http://ircalc.usps.gov

      Alternatively
      Using Fedex for the same dimensions is $260.00USD or DHL $235.00USD

      So with this two pieces of information without taking our Buy4Me fees into consideration;

      If you were in the USA and purchasing this item yourself and sending back to Australia

      $2943.64USD via DHL with California Sales Tax
      OR
      $2703.00USD VIA DHL with NO Sales Tax added

      When the product arrives back into Australia, the accessed value is over $1000AUD, Duty may be require & GST will need to be paid on the accessed value.
      http://www.customs.gov.au/site/page5653.asp

      In short, The cheapest price for the item posted back is $2703.00 + 10% GST is $2973.30USD.

      Summary:

      It will be cheaper to purchase the Apple iMac in Australia and support the local Australian businesses.

      The times when things are feasible to purchase from USA or outside of Australia is that the item is small & lightweight, has a high retail markup or unavailable in Australia. Don't expect a significant savings unless you are buying in quantity.

      Hope this gives everyone a better idea on how to purchase items Internationally and still make it feasible.

    Any ideas on what too buy from the USA?

    Eastbay? Can you ship cheaper than rip off eastbay

    • overlook on 22/06/2011 - 22:10

      you only use forwarders on websites that dont ship to australia?

      while eastbay dont ship Nike signature range to australia, using forwarder such as this one, will get you cheaper shoes too?

          if i am to buy laptop, you reckon i will get the original USA store tax invoice? or i just get a tax invoice from you?

      • Associatedvincent @ buy4me.com.au on 23/06/2011 - 12:38

        We can supply a copy of the store receipt, It depends on the product being ordered and from which supplier. Just request it when you order the item.
