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.

Are you sure you haven't got a dodgy credit card?

Re: Sports online orders from Uk - best sites/shops?
O.K just tried to order from a shop called sportshoes.com - based in UK with 15 quid delivery. spent ages on my order, came to 163.97 quid. Went to pay (on UK card from UK bank) and it wouldn't take an Australian address. So changed to AUD and the price of my order turned to $311.54. I actually got a bit excited and thought something had happened to the exchange rate without me noticing so checked on XE and my charge should have been in the region of $251.80 
I've emailed them telling them I think their currency converter is up the spout, but I reckon it could just be the 'Lets take the pi$$ out the Australian's' surcharge popping up again

As used to buy from Amazon.com but now they wont ship out of US.

sportsdirect.com are a good place,the items are a bit older than up to date stuff in the UK but more up to date than u will get over here.

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..
