Yep, I received an order from them last week, can't remember the exact postage but it was typical of OS shipping charges.

I placed an order and it arrived safe and sound. I think a padded envelope with a shipping charge for $30 is a clear indication that they don't want O/S business !

... started an order with these guys - got to the checkout & shipping was IMO extortionary (even making allowances for current weakness in the $Aud.

Needless to say I bailed.
