how much is shipping?

I wish I could do better on shipping, however I can't change the form of shipping my supplier uses - TNT Express isn't exactly cheap, and it's quite nasty on customs over here in Aus... frown.gif

+ there's 15% customs tax, + brokerage fees, + 10% GST on top of EVERYTHING. Sucks buying parts here. At the end of the day, you could be paying well over double the advertised price of an item from overseas... *sigh*

maybe I should move to the US... but then I wouldn't have my ST205 laugh.gif
