Shipping is via UPS or FedEx (selectable) and no GST is applied at checkout (don't tell Gerry)
SPD also know how to properly ship drives:
Add import duty & GST if your order value exceeds A$1000.
Our drives ship in 225lb per sq inch pressure-rated boxes, specifically tested for impact. Inside the box you’ll find suspension brackets, foam inserts, or air filled pockets that secure the drive in place and prevent any possible impact from movement in the shipping process. The drive itself is sealed in an anti-static bag that protects the drive from any electromagnetic interference.
