Yeah, it could be an issue depending on what it is you buy, and sometimes who you buy from, but buying Warn winch motors from Amazon itself is not one of those.
Some goods have exclusive importers for various countries, and Amazon (or any International retailer for that matter) are only allowed to supply domestically, or to a country that doesn't have an exclusive dmoestic importer (if that makes sense). And sometimes, even if the goods are OK to be shipped, the individual retailers can't be bothered or don't want to take the risk sending their goods overseas.
There are ways around this using parcel forwarders (like Shipito) but generally not worth the hassle I've found.
My motor arrived in a touch over a week after purchase.

The Goodwinch site is down at the moment. A bit of a worry.
The bowmotor is rated for a higher RPM than the warn and others plus is a bit higher HP as well. Can't see specifics from the site though, but if Gigglepin etc go to the Bow as an upgrade from the warn is a pretty safe bet it's better.
Bowmotor 4.8hp and 9hp run at 4000rpm, Warn 6hp and Bowmotor 6.6hp are both 5000rpm. Obviously the free rpm don't reflect the pull characteristics and the Bowmotor 9hp will out pull everything else here.
Can someone check the goodwinch site at
Demon - Your Default Homepage
or
Goodwinch Winches & Parts, Electric Winches and Winch Bumpers, UK – Goodwinch.com
Hold that, just came back up. Looks like they have been shuffling providers.
Also, here's a motor, 5hp at a reasonable price. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-12-V-L...item257f21a985
Order placed.
New selection, they have just added a 12,000lb high speed, bow 2, large drum, pneumatic free spool, submersible, etc etc.
874 pounds plus 300 shipping. Air freight in approx 8 days.
Don't forget Aus customs and duty charges and then final GST needs to be added.Quote:

Hey when insurance is paying it's no longer an issue.
Just to clarify though, greater than $1000- attracts GST and other duties? Is there a schedule of these fees listed on the customs website?
Save that,
Here's an example from customs.
Example 1: An importation of multiple low value packages of goods (for example, six packages of video cameras each valued at A$200) (One consignment)
A$
Customs value (6 x $200) (Cval)
1200.00
Customs duty (Duty) @ 5% of Cval
60.00International transport and insurance or postage (T&I)
(Payable)
150.00
Value of the Taxable Importation (VoTI) (Cval+Duty+T&I)
1410.00
Goods and Services Tax (GST) @ 10% of the VoTI
141.00Total payable Duty + GST
(Payable)
201.00
So customs duty is 5% of value which i then added to both goods costs and freight costs and then GST i calculated on the total.
Winch is on the way.

basically as above, no rope (cheaper locally), or pulley (weight and already have one). With one of these.

Total cost, 2240- Landed (with special invoicing for import). BIG thanks to Dave Bowyer and Sue (in the office) from Goodwinch Winches & Parts, Electric Winches and Winch Bumpers, UK – Goodwinch.com for organising building and shipping this for me, with understanding of delays from insurance payouts.
Now waiting on funding for auto so it can be shipped then get it fitted, then all will be back on track, well almost.
