Shipped Tue through FedEx ICP the cheapest option. Arrived today 5.8pounds clicked option to include invoice of itemised declared value from SMC. All above board. Plus a small box of 15 singles that may or may not have included #1 hobby chases of 23-24 season. @Iron Clad Lou Do try it !! (nfi why an old Dilmah tea ad came into my head)

So if you wanted to legit buy a case or box from US over 1000 AUD, you would have to:

Buy your product ($830)
Pay your shipping ($275)
Attain a import broker
Pay the brokerage fee ($125)
Pay the GST ($110)
Pay the import processing fee ($50 or $90)

So best case, a 550USD case or Box would end up costing $1390 from Door to Door?

Am i missing something?

Now if I bought the same item off ebay using international shipping program, would i still be required to get a broker?

Surely you wouldn't have to get a broker because the sale has all of that baked in using the GSP?

Either way it's insane that there's a 60% or so Australia premium on top of the original cost of the product
 
Another successful SMC delivery for me.

100-ish singles + 4 sealed boxes.

FedEx. 5 pounds. Shipping US$52. Shipped Thursday, arrived today (Wednesday). Declared value under threshold.

Time from shipping request to actual ship was nine days.
 
I've sent back 3 smaller lots over the last few months, rather than one massive one. No problems at all.

Typically takes around 9-10 days from request to delivery for me too, using Fedex.
 
Did you have to open a rush request which is $1 fee per item? I opened a regular FedEx shipment request end of May and it still hasn't been processed.

I didn't man, was a regular request.

Odd that yours hasn't bee processed yet. Was it super large or anything different about it compared to a regular shipment? Are you good with credit? Seems a long time to wait, wouldn't hurt to send them a request/email asking for an update of shipment status. I've always found they're responsive to queries.

Their flowchart had outgoing requests behind like 13 days. Hearing everyone has gotten theirs shipped already, I will shoot them an email. Nothing out of the ordinary with the shipment.
