Hey all,

Just came across a nice little site that lets you order from any U.S. website (even if they don't send items internationally), and sends the parcels to your country. I would have loved this if I was still in Oz!!! coz things are so cheap over here. Anyway, I've ordered a few things successfully from them and had them sent to my family back in Sydney. If interested the site is www.worldpurchases.com

Do you get caught for import tax buying from the US? I've purchased a few things from HK & Japan and had no problems but wondered about the US.

I use a similar outfit in California who are very good. Pretty cheap too.

No, same as from anywhere else in the world. I buy loads of stuff from the US now. Local retailers don't seem to want to pass on the savings they are making due to the exchange rate - so it's time to bypass them.

Anybody care to post a couple of examples of some good buys from the US to show us exactly how much we can save?

I'm in the US currently, we're applying to move to OZ. Question about electrical outlets - I understand OZ has 220 - not 110 like US. How does it work to buy electronics from US when the outlet isn't the same? Is there a converter?
