Hi Aus people,
Neil: the info I got was referred to me by another Brisbane guy who pointed
me to the Buying over the internet page [1] which is where I got the 5%
from (check the table down the bottom).
Dennis: I did the UPS one and it came to around $170 which is drastically
different from $70

That's strange. I'm in Brisbane and it worked out cheaper to buy in
bulk. I estimated the postage as $70 for the bulk and $50 for individual
(using AusPost's Int. parcel calculator). What was your

amount.

Hi All,
Thanks Nick for the spreadsheet - I guesstimated the postage at about $50 for
the bulk order and $20 for the individual units, based off past experience
shipping stuff from the US - didn't even think to use the Aus Post
calculator.
In other words, I trust your figures over mine :-)
I wasn't sure if I should put it on the wiki or not as I was uncertain
about postage - but since you think they're alright, go for it!

Hi guys
This could be just 'hoping for a desired outcome', but I reckon that there is
no duty payable on
phones imported into Australia. When I emailed Australian Customs (trying to
get them to have
sympathy on the bulk order thing), they only
If it's included in the bulk order, do you *need* to declare an extra value?

It's not so much the declaration.. It's more the fact that the whole
shipment will be over a certain value (I think $1000?)..
Here is oz if it's above a certain value you have to pay GST (extra
10%), plus I think a customs duty as well... which just sucks big time..
To answer Chris's
Steve has already mentioned on the list that they don't intend to sell
pouches or headsets as individual items, and that they're only available
as part of a bulk order -- included at no extra cost as part of the bulk
