Edit: Diddn't notice the shiping cost changed when you processed the order. shipping cost was $68.41USD, which brought the total to about 342.091 AUD. Still $20 cheaper.

Amazon can ship these drives to Australia for about $6 I think. Not free, but very reasonable for international shipping I'd say :)
Now if they'd ship the Intel 520 SSDs…
edit: didn't realise the link is from a merchant, not Amazon themselves. In that case shipping can skyrocket.
It appears that they may ship internationally - refer http://www.tigerdirect.com/sectors/help/international.asp
However, based on that info:
(a) you'd have to call them, rather than placing the order online; and
(b) rather than having free shipping, shipping may be quite expensive, as it is noted that "International orders are subject to additional handling charges, higher shipping rates, and applicable customs, duties and taxes, all of which are the responsibility of the customer."

Price should be in US$ and international shipping is US$68.41. Just buy it from amazon if you want this model. It's US$30.63 delivered at the moment (if you have 28 degrees card or similiar) or $AUD 303.77 using amazon currency converter.
$30.63 delivered. Can I have 10.
100
Lol - sure thing :) I'd grab 10 too at that price. Should have been US$306.63 unfortunately.
So this is no deal then.
Enough with the token M4 posst. Seriously.
Don't know why this concerns you when M4 appears….you going to complain about the constant Nexus posts?
If they get this bad, yep (and they're getting close)
~AU$304 from amazon.com

US$299 + postage (comes to ~$7 for me)
Lame price. Well, it's decent but if all of the money is going into postage what do you get if you need to return it? It's as bad as those "free" items we see all the time on COTD etc with $10 shipping. "Yeah sure we'll refund you the price of the item. Here's your one cent."
Isn't free shipping for the US only and you have to use a mail forwarder to buy from these guys.
