Need Reliable & Cheap Company with International Shipping

Hey,

I live in Australia and I'm sick of paying higher prices and having to wait much longer for hardware to arrive.

From looking at www.newegg.com it seems that there are better prices to the had in the US, however Newegg doesn't seem to want to ship internationally.

Does anyone know of good retails which ship internationally that have products at reasonable or cheap prices?

Thanks

Food

Your items will have to go through customs there and will likely end up costing more than they do there after you add taxes/duties and shipping. About the only thing that may be in your favor is that the exchange rate might give a slight edge (the US$ is soft right now).
. Ones I use most are mwave, zipzoomfly, excaliberPC, monarchcomputer, directron, svc (all are www.xxx.COMs). It won't take long to find out which ones ship internationally.

For a full system, I've worked out the difference to be like $4000 Australian against $2400 US Dollars, so even if duties are applied, they might not make it more expensive.

However my biggest problem is with availability, particularly with PCI Express ready AMD motherboards (which are just about to be released in the US I believe).

Does anyone know if this new US-AUS free trade agreement, which comes into effect on the 1st of Jan, 2005 will make any difference to duties?

Thanks again.
