Do you know if they have (hidden?) charges beyond the simple shipping cost?
I just worked out that I could get it on-shipped with tracking for $AU 26.
This could really save the day !!!

You need to check to see on what kind of fees/taxes your country will charge.
Basically, when I used something similar to the service above (Mailbox.pe a year or so ago), it was $65 to ship, and then Peru added about 19-21% (to include the shipping when they assessed the total value), and the item ended up costing a small fortune. But at least Mailbox (or is it Mailboxes ??) took care of the paperwork that Peru requires.
In Peru, if the total (to include shipping) is less than $200, then there are no taxes. The only problem with this country is that sometimes items - say it with me:
SHAZAM! - vanish into thin air.
