no fair!!!!
in aus, superstars go for like 120-150AUD or more
cant remember
and the AUD is almost as strong as the USD
well, one AUD buys just over .96USD
this sucks XD

What´s your experience with customs/taxes when you ordered from the US??

[reid]

If they are under $50 and a single item you normally get away with it. Anything more than that and it gets a bit risky. One pair normally flies under the radar (usually...)

[woody]

USPS generally gets through the customs net ok

[Cluskey]

If you ask the seller to write GIFT on them or the airmail ticket then they should breeze through customs.

[deftoned]

^ That's good for ebay etc, but quite often stores won't do that for you though, I know at least a couple of the ones I have used have gone as far as to expressly writing that they won't, in their shipping information.

^^^excepting flightclub. they've saved me a tonne of money by knocking down prices and writing gift.

can't imagine what the customs would've been on the nbhds.

I just ordered 2 pairs from Shiekh Shoes and paid only $25 postage all up. They arrived here in Australia within 2 working days. Not bad. I'm still waiting on a pair I ordered from Sportie LA over 2 weeks ago, which I paid $45 postage for.

[jam]

2 days! From america to australia! for just $25! Damn! But did you have to pay customs damien?

[damo]

Nope. No customs fee. But I've never had to pay any for shoes.

PYS are good too, spent over $300 on three pairs and the guy marked them up as less than half that and as a gift too so had no problems there. Also arrived in 5 days which I thought was pretty sweet.

Got done once by customs, but that was for Yoda's which were in a muckle box and the dizzy bint who sold them to me didn't mark the value down or as a gift when she said she would. Not that I'm bitter or anything.

Nope...no bitterness there

[apollion]

ok, thx guys, sounds promising although I guess the gift trick is an old hat and doesn´t work anymore..

I'm not sure about the limits over east but in Western Australia we
don't get charged customs fees on anything valued under $1000 AUD.
