I ordered some not inexpensive Canon E6NH batteries (read: DSLR batteries) from a well known camera retailer a while back.
They didn't mention no-one in Oz had any in stock.
It took 3 months.
That said, while I might have got them sooner from foreign shores, I was more than happy to wait and get a local warranty.
These puppies were going into a new $6K camera and $60 after-market substitutes were not going to cut it.
I suspect many IIS'ers don't fully appreciate how strong Australia consumer laws are.
If you order online from a foreign supplier, it often goes well...but when it doesn't....you do you often end up in a world of hurt or do your dough....
and then some... if the cheaper/faster option trashes your expensive gear.
Given the current east-cost weather...waiting is hardly fatal.
