    If they weren't being bought for me locally () then I would definately be going to tyre rack. Even though I am only getting something relatively normal on Bridgestone D694's in 245/70/16LT. At $136ea vs $289ea and quoted $60-ea shipping thats good enough savings over 5 tyres.

    Did you have to pay any import duty on this?
    Cheers

    If it is applicable I will have to pay it - I'll let you know on Thursday exactly how much it costs to purchase, ship and land. The other side to this is stock availability, which is a major let down when purchasing tyres locally.

    I'm hoping I still end up with a saving . This is the second international purchase for me, the first was a dslr body and a couple of lenses (the pro forma invoice - had the value of the goods listed below actual value and it managed to get to me with out paying duties or gst. It's definitely becoming a buyers market thanks to the internet.

    Fitting/balancing I have a mate, but even if you had to pay, go to a small/seconds tyre shop they'll do it for next to nothing.

    Bridgestone wanted $25-ea shipping as to get a whole set they had to come from more than one location. So $125- for a product already in the country.

    Tyres arrived a day later than estimated date of delivery. I didn't get charged GST or duties

    All up including fitting/balancing ($25ea from Associated tyre wholesale) the km2's cost me: AU$281/tyre (received them in 8 days from when I confirmed the order - after they received payment)

    Sold my old tyres for $50 ea (they still had some life in them, geolandar HT 235/65)

    Good buy I reckon...

    I just purchased 4 Km2 265/75/16 from Tirerack for my mate and they came in 5 days!!!!

    It has taken longer than that to get something via Aus post 130km away!



    BTW you definatley do NOT pay any duties if the value of goods is UNDER AU$1000. Irrelevant of shipping costs. seems to still be some confusion over this in above posts. That is what Gerry Harvey and his mates are complaining about................

    from my understanding.

    if you owe GST or not is worked out on the cost of the item.

    once its decided you're going to pay GST the GST is calculated on the whole cost of the Consignment.

    so an $800 item with a $500000000 shipping fee should not attract GST.

    a $1500 item with a $500 shipping fee would attract a GST value calculated on $2000.
