Thanks for that. It's certainly good for those wanting to buy high priced items, though the postage is pretty high. Sony DSLR lenses come to mind, which used to cost around $5000 each here, but were under $2000 in the US.
Not sure why the article is going on about this service as though it is something new and encouraging grey imports - a search on Google shows many such companies offering the same service, and they've been around for years. I miss the old "Shop-The-States" which closed up in the mid 2000s. They used to charge US$5 an item and gave you the choice of high and low postage costs. I bought quite a few astronomy items through them before the prices dropped here.
If the store rejects Australian credit cards so that this company can't ship it, one can join other America address/shipping companies who, for a fee, will buy the item with their credit card and then charge your card.
Regards,
Renato
