Hey Dreamy, do you Auzzies also have to add onto the price import duty when the parts you order hit the docks in Auz?? We get slugged GST (goods & services tax) on top as we're importing goods.

Only if their value is over $1000.

All goods (except for tobacco products and alcoholic beverages) may be imported duty and tax free if their value is $1,000 or less.
Note: However, where there are multiple packages to the same addressee in Australia from a single consignor overseas that arrive at about the same time, then the value of all packages will be combined for duty and tax assessment purposes.

Well looks like Aussie government is more lenient than the NZ government, we only get a whole $50 worth til we're taxed.

The first image is an email i sent to Motordyne regarding a Plenum Spacer and the cost of shipping to Australia. The second image is from the Performance Nissan website.

Yeah, the last time I bought something from Performance Nissan they wanted a bucketload for shipping. I added some stickers, and one set weighed 2lbs on their shipping calculation!
So I called them up, told them how unimpressed I was at their site, and so I told them what I wanted and they got back to me over the phone with a much more reasonable shipping fee through USPS.
