Goods when shipped out of Australia carry NO Australian sales tax. For freight details please see below, but generally using our DHL should mean that you would have your order within just 3-4 days to most areas of the world and at minimal freight cost. For exchange rates please visit a very good webpage www.oanda.com

With the introduction of the GST, many, many years ago now, meant all of our goods now carry a flat 10% rate across the board. This is excellent in our opinion, as with the previous tax system all of our goods carried either a 32%, 28.8%, 22% or 19.8% sales tax rate. This in practical terms, means that for every $1100 you buy, the sales tax rate is now just $100 of that amount. The GST is a great thing for many industries and for us it has been very positive.

Shipping and duty charges are the responsibility of the customer. Shipping and insurance fees will be added to our invoices for open account customers. C.O.D. and other shipping fees, when applicable, will be passed on to the purchaser.

Within Australia, our preferred shipping method is normally overnight air freight with AAE - Australian Air Express, for larger and/or heavier items, such as equipment cases, we prefer to use Star Track Express, both using our account numbers.

For overseas shipments, we use DHL using our account or EMS Air Mail through Australia Post. When using our account number you save even more due to our current substantial discount rate that we have negotiated with AAE, which we always pass on to the customer to make the purchase even more attractive for you.
