ah well can you order from U.S. and ship to AUS? I imagine shipping has to be cheaper than $150. But otherwise wow you aussies must make a lot of money, everything always seems so expensive there. |
Don't know I hope so, I am gonan check it out at least. Also depending on the wieght shipping for that will probably be $50-$80 or so.
I order a lot of traidng card cases from USA and a case to ship here is aboutthat depending on the weight.
We do earn a lot but that is because everything is so expensive so we want more money lol. Minimum wage is $16/h as an example. I have been to the USA many times and tbh I really dont know which is better. Like in my profession we probably earn abut the same as Americans (well when I was a graduate) but everything was so much cheaper.
As for why prices are high, there been many excuses over the years. They use to be doulbe the US price but that made sense when out currency was worth half per US dollar.
There was some enquiry done recently why prices are high and the fact was big comapnies simply charged 30% because it is Australia lol. One of the recommendations was that all eelctornic device here be global free (aka region free). This will be interesting if it goes through, that will mean Sony will need to release firmware to unlock the PS3 bluray. Can't wait I hate region locking on movies especially when we miss out on a lot of good ones.
