I've had stuff sent 3 days apart. Total value of both packages was AU$1700 The packages were not stopped & I didn't pay duty or GST.


Higher up in the replies I saw someone mention TNT or FEDEX etc.
Be aware that if you get packages brought in by courier companies they will charge you a customs clearance fee & import duty & GST, regardless of weather the item is under $1000 or not. Best way is by Registered express post.
