I've bought several items through OPT. In the end, I found the GST, customs, exchange rate brought the cost up close to what it would have been local in Australia. In that case, I'd buy locally, but sometimes it's hard to find the local suppliers stocked with exactly what you need. I'm also starting to use a forwarding service called Bongo. It seems to work fine. It makes it a bit easier to deal with smaller suppliers that want a US address to ship to and their freight charges look like they are cheaper, especially for larger / heavier items.
