USA order - postage saver

By marhleet - Posted on 20 September 2009

I''ve got some Twenty20 cams coming, through BongoUS.com

most places get you free shipping into USA, so
if you get it shipped to CT USA quick I can have it in my box to save you postage.

but, I sort of want the cams quick, so be quick.

someone mentioned import duties on large items (or perhaps collections)
think about that as my order is already 2 x $500
and not sure about being to pay for ppls duties, if any.

anyway, it's a thought.
pickup would be in Carlingford NSW (Parramatta)

hmmm, $1000 limit
then 5% customs AND 10% GST

ok, Bongo ships DHL, which last time cost $75 I think for one package
so multiple packages are going to cost $75, each.

so 15%, $150, might be a wearable consequence.
again, keep it in mind, if it's coming to my place, I'm the importer, I'll get the charges.

might not relase good until payment, so you might not want 15% on top , again, way up what they're charging you for postage ($54 for pointofviewcams.com)

silly me, d'oh

bongo allows storage, and I can ship whatever i want in small doses
so it'll be under $1,000
