    Just wait until they start chucking GST on to all our internet purchases to prevent us from getting things cheaper overseas. Won't that be fun then?!

    They do that now Mick, unless the price is below $1k & GST isn't the only fee they add then. Your $1k razor will cost about $1300 after customs take their cut.

    I would want several for that price, but then again, I'm a scrooge . I knew about the GST by value already.

    I was trying to single handedly prop up the Portuguese economy a while back by supporting the portugal online shop, but the wife said 'no'...

    Yeah. Mine always says 'You get whatever you want, you're too expensive to keep, we need to get rid of you, I never get anything for myself". You can't argue with the "I never get anything for myself" argument other than to say "Well, that's not MY problem!"...
