Just making a Statment for all sydney sider.
Why is everyone buying tires from the US? Just doing some search on what tyres I should put on my Enkei RS05RR (soon to come). Ive opted for some Michelin Pilot Super Sport 225/40/18 fronts. Tire Rack quoted me $424 X2 and shipping was $209.3 Total $633.03us That also excludes fitting. Tempe Tyres have the same tyres @ $300 each and fitted, wouldnt we all think this is a no brainer. They also do interstate shipping. I understand the manufacture may play a factor on price. but Tempe are pretty good Anyone else on here use them too? |

Anyone shipped stuff through hopshopgo over 1k? I bought a new DME for ~1200 which came in over the Australian $1000 threshhold and I knew I would have had the possibility of paying GST, which I'm fine with.
But hopshopgo go ahead themselves and charge you for the customs tax and add $50 for their brokerage fee and say they will handle it with customs. My package came with no receipt from customs/DHL to say any of this has been paid. I just sent a message to them asking for a scan of the receipt etc to make sure its actually paid, I would rather our country have the cash than them.

that is interesting because when I spoke with customs they basically indicated there is a 10% GST and 5% import tax in addition to a $50-90 admin fee.
I hope there are no other hidden costs of bringing in goods over $1000... |
