    Anyone coming back from the US?

    Bit of a long shot, but worth a try! After a battery charger from Home Depot. $79 in Australia, $29USD ($39AUD) in the US...

    Thanks mate - time isn't a concern, but you might be a bit far from me to make it worth our while.

    For the USA you could always use the AusPost system:
    ShopMate

    If you buy your items in a different state to the one the distribution hub is located in you do not pay state taxes. That normally saves about the same as postage to the hub. Then all you are doing is paying freight to Oz.

    We have used it a number of times to get items from retailers who don't/can't send to Oz

    Thanks for the offer, but the items I want are fairly cheap (but half the price of buying here), so probably not worth shipping costs from Melbourne.

    I'm off to the US for a month next week, but the same comment probably applies - I am a bit closer than Melbourne, but not that much closer.
