Not sure where to put this but I'm looking to buy a few things from Australia and was wondering how long shipping normally takes and do the main shops like GCCC and kingsgrove have a minimum order when shipping to UK
Cheers
-
It would be about 2/3 weeks i would think?
Theres no min order but you may get stung by import tax
-
OK cheers for that i am looking at getting some stickers, few grips and gloves possibly so I don't think tax should be that much
-
Well someone on here purchased 3 grips and 3 sets of stickers and it came to around 80 odd pounds!
Id email the shop and enquire first :p
-
The shop should be able to give you the answer's.

When i send bats to Oz they normally take around 3-4 days to arrive.... i assume its the same coming back!!
-
When I ordered some stickers they were here within a week, beware also that anything with a value over £18 can get charged customs.
Which with Parcelforce is a fair bit as they charge £15 on top for clearing fees along with 17.5% VAT on the items value. You do get lucky sometimes though, I bought some soft goods from India a while back with a value of around £600 which got through fine.

I have a friend in Brisbane if you want to pay Australian GST and avoid high postage and import taxes here.
