yes it was home....but....i received a letter in the mail...
for this first lot of shifters : duties & gst : $223.75. friggen hell. i'll scan the bill so you all know i'm not BS'ing you. this is the first time i've ever had to pay duties. damn peeved.
i called up the customs and asked them about the $1000 import duty limit and you dont have to pay duties...they said (and i went back to read the customs website and they are right), under $1000 you dont have to lodge a formal customs import form and they work out duties off the invoice enclosed on the package. the dont charge duties and gst if the total duties is less than $50 (apx $330aud).
at the moment i wont send the shifters out. will wait to see what the 2nd lot of shifters brings and then i'll let you all know what the costs are.
not happy jan !!!!!!!
