Costco in Docklands have 501s for not much. Can't remember the dollar figure.

The con is that there is lots of 36 etc.

JD Sports turned out to be good, we received the goods just 5 days after despatch

An order with dvd.co.uk took a month from "despatch" to deliver one of the items though. But got it in the end

It still works out cheaper than Australia but has anyone else noticed the prices Next charges to it's Aussie customers are higher than it's UK ones?

But their delivery is free to Australia so it's swings and roundabouts I suppose.

Yes but Next dont pay for returns. One of my orders had a pair of jeans that obviously had the wrong size on them (size 32mens but was more like a 40!). Basically was not worth sending them back due to costs.

Feel I have to mention Galaxy sports again, just had a delivery that took approx 6 days. Runners looked better than they did on the website.

Better get those orders in fast in case/before the free shipping is withdrawn

ASOS shares drop after free clothes shipping hits margins

Australia leads soaring international sales at Asos

I wonder what the figures for the book depository are.... we get masses of their items through the Post. I'd say they could well be the largest single parcel sending company we deal with at Aus Post. That includes all Aussie companies as well. They've gone way past Readers Digest and Time Life combined. I'd Guesstimate that each Postcode in the North of Melbourne gets at least 40-60 items every night from the Book Depository.

I'd love to see their parcel handling center... must be massive. Aus Post employs over 100 people at the Melbourne Parcel Facility in Ardeer... If the Book Depository freight forwarding division isnt bigger than that, I'd be very surprised. Unless Aus really is getting the lions share of their books ?

That's interesting. Thinking that maybe I've been buying my books at the wrong place I've just performed a search of the three books currently in my Amazon shopping basket. Amazon worked out at around 30% cheaper for each of them. Could it be that Australians are unaware that Amazon is currently doing free postage?

Not all of the UK shops ship to Australia. Take a look further back on this thread to identify those that do
