Well, I've ordered 7 things this month, 3 from Germany and 4 from the good'ol' boys in the US of A.
The yanks decided they can't be bothered doing business with Oz, however I paid via PayPal and have a US delivery address and forwarder (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) so all good.
The Germans, good citizens that they are, simply took the order. Methinks OzPost will bill me when it arrives. This item matters the most, as I'm having new backend machined to mate a new focuser to this scope. FYI the Germans also have a GST for inbound products and they nearly had a heart attack when i suggested sending my current backend to them - they said I'd be charged a whopping GST for that. But products made in Germany and exported are GST-free.
Very logical, these germans... except when it comes to delivery... they really need to ditch DHL and find a courier that works as well as FedEx.
