I've not made an international order before, will Customs open or charge you for new goods sent in? Thanks in anticipation. x

Dear bcworld

Unfortunately, your order (JDXXXXXXXX) has been cancelled.

Please check the details and resubmit.


I'm ordering stuff to be delivered to my address here, which is the same as for the credit card I am using.

I got riled up the last time and wrote them a sarky email asking what more they would like me to do to make an international order...never heard nuffink back so I don't even try now.
Same thing happened to me. Couldn't be arsed to go through it all again!

Love love love Asos! Ordered many a item off there. They offer FREE shipping to Aus and express post at a charge. They also allow you to pay in AUD but I prefer to pay in GBP as it works out cheaper

keep an eye on the superdrug website towards the end of summer in the uk. They get rid of tons of suncream at little or no costs. some a quid a bottle

also look out for anti-histemines...allergy tablets. They are really expensive here in ok, but costs pennies in the uk.

Not sure if this has already been posted here but it's a good "International Stores That Ship to Australia" link

Just ordered some computer games and DVDs from dvd.co.uk. Very reasonable shipping charges and decent priced goods

'course not - the Great Australian Public might realise what a nice banana should taste like! Same with apples etc.
So you're telling us that the Cavendish banana tastes better overseas?

Thanks for that giggle.

Has anyone found a site which will ship cosmetics? The only one I have come across is strawberry net.com but they don't stock what I am after.
