But it's a great way to source goods you either can't buy here or that are much cheaper - even when considering shipping - when bought direct.
And I am also using it to get around geo restrictions on ebooks, but that is another story.

Thanks for sharing this information. I knew companies like this existed but had never bothered trying to find one myself. After my last few online shopping expeditions I've just had enough of all the things we CAN'T buy here and when I finally find something that I can buy I'm expected to pay considerably MORE even though the $AUD is currently worth more than the $US!
And that's before I even START on ebooks and geo restrictions.
