ahhh my pleasure in elaborating on the taxes part.
this is dependant on your country itself
like for Singapore, if your goods are known to be more than 300 SGD, then you will have to pay goods and service tax, which is set at 7% in our country. so assuming i had purchased goods from aussie, and they pass thru SG customs, and if they are declared as 1000 SGD, i have to pay 70 bucks extra.
So it is highly dependant on the amt of taxes ur country charges.
How to bypass this? Simple, ask the person who delivers this parcel to you to underdeclare itor ship it in many parcels + under declare it.
You cant under declare too much esp when tis one BIG box but declarred as a cheap price.
so thats it, hope i answered ur qn!
