wiggle.co.uk do compression wear. They are a triathlete shop so good for swimming togs, runners, cycle stuff etc. Often have free shipping to aus.
Orders average 10 working days.

Yeah but worth checking out others as wiggle often does free shipping to oz. Depends how determined you are to save a few extra dollars.

I have used these people for 10+ years and they have shipped to me in everywhere that I have worked away from home.

I got TWO pairs of Saucony including the $25 shipping for 105 pounds all up Vs $190 locally for ONE pair.

My last order was placed on a Friday morning and Tuesday morning I had them here in Sydney, would have been Monday but customs don't work the weekend..

It sure is. If you subscribe to their newsletter they'll tell you when their sales are on - the key here is to look as soon as they notify you of a new sale. There's some good bargains to be had at that stage

If you can get them to deliver. I tried twice.

Both times they just inexplicably cancelled the order without even a courtesy email to let me know.

Seems they have an issue with some overseas orders. Used my credit card, in my name with delivery to the billing address.

Won't bother ever trying again.
