Overall I would give overseas buyers top marks for feedbacks and rate australian buyers/sellers the worst.
it's just not worth the aggravation.

I got a hdd from dick smith and died less than 6 months. Returned the item to dick smith and they said I have to return it to manufacturer since they have 5 year warranty. My general understanding is that items bought from a store at least should have 1 year warranty or whatever. They don't divulge which items have that 1 year warranty from them.

I was hassled into posting the item in specific packaging so that it isn't damage during shipping. I have to send it to a warehouse in sydney who'll send it to singapore for analysis and a replacement. I have to trouble myself to look for specific packaging which wasn't what it originally came in.

I just said f$#@ it and just threw it in the bin

Should've just bought it online if I have to return a faulty item thru mail and worse it's overseas.
