However, to address several issues raised in this thread: - We are currently looking into the services our website/shopping cart provider provides, so GST is automatically deducted for foreign sales. We have had issues in the past where non-residents have purchased products and wanted them delivered to an Australian address and they thought they did not have to pay GST. - As Stu states we charge shipping costs via weight. Please keep in mind there can be some differences when comparing for example battlion boxes where there can be a difference in weight. - We have been selling online (mainly ebay) for 5 years and have over 12,000 positive feedback comments. Our ebay user name is scrapdragonau. - As for our pricing policy. We are able to offer a 20% discount as we are a home based business (no rent and no staff) and we keep a very close tight control on our stock levels. Our discount from GW Aust is a little more than stated above (not much though) If you are after something which is not on our website please email us with the list and I can give you a price. Also if anyone is interested I work less than 10 minutes away from the Gold Coast International Airport and pick ups are more than welcome if you are visiting Australia.

Even so $350NZ of GW figures is a fair amount. I don't quite understand how Scrap Dragon can offer a 20% discount on the normal Australian retail price though. Certainly resellers get a discount from GW and normal reseller discount is around 25-30% I believe? Even so I'm surprised they can afford to offer 20% off and still make it worth their while. NZ GW prices are simply too rich for me. If I can get a discount like this from 'across the ditch' then I'll definitely do so.

They ship by weight though, so shipping costs could be higher than 16% I guess. Yes, it seems almost too good to be true.
