Never done it before but seen a few items I'd like to get from the USA that are not available here in Aussie. Any recommendations?

Can you share some more details on your freight weight, dimensions and tariff classification?

  1-3KG approx shoebox size.

    I've used MyUS and PlanetExpress both with no issues.

    A$110 via MyUS - will it be worth it? Can it be sourced from Amazon.com?

      Cheers will check them out. Was thinking more $50 but might need to rethink that. Not on Amazon, does Amazon.com ship to AU? Is there a loophole for that?

        @figarow: Not a loophole, just pay the international shipping plus GST. They use air freight consols so the price per item is more acceptable.

Use Amazon.com and have it delivered to a local Amazon locker?

  … except that isn't actually a thing.

Another vote for MyUS. Always found them to be reliable and good rates.
