Forgot to add trainers and bike equiPment. Still shop here but for somethings it is just a no brainer. Last pair of Asics 2150 I paid $95 Aus from the states. My bras are double the price (or more) here

I've bought camera memory cards from the UK. They were about half what they are here.

I've found this kind of thing to be, generally, cheaper in Australia.

MSY is great for computer stuff but it doesn't seem to have much of a range of other consumer electronics.

My SLR digital camera was cheaper from PC World than I could find here and at Singapore airport - it was on special in the UK whereas it wasn't here.

Especially at computer swap meets.... where the traders really cut prices on new goods.

Like the following. Do they do them in other states ?

They do in the Wollongong area in NSW, I used to go to them a fair bit at one time, at least I think they still do. You get accessories and other stuff at least half the price of the local shops.

Default Re: What do you buy online from the UK?

I buy almost everything from the UK - branded clothes (probably last season stuff but who cares here when you can get away with a cowboy hat, a pair of speedos and a massive tat) from m&m direct, ASOS, lucky brand and superdry (cult co uk)
Shoes - same places and M&S - the price of leather stuff over here is incroyable!

Books and dooveds from ebay co uk , bedding from m&s and next directory, gravy powder, mint sauce, angel delight, skips and chicken &mushroom potty noodles courtesy of my old dear's shipments from the UK.

Pretty much nowt from Oz other than groceries
