This is just insane for a model a part, or wine bottle for that matter.

Wow, plus $2.50 for shipping. It couldn't weigh an ounce.

You've all heard us outside the US complain about the cost of postage when we buy anything from any of your suppliers. That item costs $132 to get it here. YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING!

I am sure its just a typo, they just added the 00 by accident

Maybe but that doesn't change what they calculate as postage to Australia. Now that is insane.

Yes buying price has been changed but postage to Australia is US$18.23. (approx AU$24.60)

I think I'll just go down the road and buy a couple of bottles of Wine and save the corks.
Global shipping is absolutely prohibitive, but that's the price we pay for living in paradise.

Thanks for the offer, but there are some things I can handle on my own.

When will we see you downunder again. The Dollar rate is definitely in your favour.

The shipping cost to Canada is estimated to be US $15.87. That is why I look to Europe for as much as possible when buying online.

Synchro909 · 10-25-2016, 03:02 AM

Now things are getting downright weird. Since the price was corrected, the postage to Australia has gone down to $24 for the same item.Who can have faith in a system like that???

Pass me that bottle of wine.

BILL WILLIAMSON · 10-25-2016, 07:50 AM

I could have understood the original price if it came wit "patina"................

My gas float is a wine cork dipped in tank sealer, shellac would work also if you didn't use ethanol tainted gas. Saves shipping costs since corks can be found most anywhere.
