Thank you for restating the fact about the change in the law (I should have clarified it myself)...my use of FedEx was over 9 months ago and was for a value in excess of AUD$250 (with shipping)...
The item (not Astro equipment) did collect GST/Duty via FedEx (I was not aware of the law then in effect and was surprised at the fees)...I had a similar parcel shipped USPS at near the same time which did not...which created a "warm and fuzzy" feeling towards USPS...
I have been pleased by USPS and their performance and costs so I have not used FedEx (or UPS) since the law change...
Sorry for any confusion from my earlier post...
