Honestly I do not know, but I also dont care!

The few things Ive bought from aliexpress have been as advertised and arrived aac, so I'm still a fan! (including a remote model helicopter for the lad that cost $0.01 (incl postage!)
the transaction cost more than the item :P

also how does it attach ???

I generally don't like roof bars, but that one actually looks good.

goingbush,

I've seen a roof bar like that at Rovacraft here in Perth. If they stock it its most probably Britpart, Allmakes 4X4 or Terrafirma and all the branches nationwide should stock it.

Cheers,

Lou

Who determines the cost?

For example if an item is worth $1100, but i have purchased it at a discount so i paid, say, $800 for it?

The retailer puts the invoice cost on the shipment including postage if this is more than $1000 you get to make a donation to the Gov if under $1000 including postage you win

Not quite correct. If the goods value is less than $1000 then no donation to the W.Swan fighting fund is necessary. If the value of your goods exceeds $1000 then your donation is based on the value of the goods plus the shipping cost.

The GST is also paid on the Duty which is another 5% of the goods value and you will also be hit with some "other charges" to cover the handling or whatever. I would have thought that taxes should also cover the cost of collecting them but aparently not.

Depends whether they choose to collect the duty etc.
I've bought things in that have been around the $1400 mark and have not had to pay duty/GST etc, Christmas seems to be a good time to buy from O/S (maybe too busy)

I see Tigerz11 has some good deals on LED Bars at the moment
