    Hey Bread (and everyone else),

    Iceburn and I have come up with a way to split this order right down the middle geographically so we don't have to fear duty, customs fees or complications with one big massive order.

    If everyone consents, you will lose between $1 and $2 of savings, but you will make everyone happy

    So, Paul and Digger will go in with Iceburn's "South" group and Goro, Bread and LCZ will go in with me in the "North" group. Here are the updated finances to reflect the difference. The original all-in totals are there and the 2nd set of totals below reflects the pricing with two separate group orders:



    It's the last AUD Estimate field that reflects the amounts

    That being said, if we're all cool, Bread, feel free to let me know what tidbits you want to add to the "North" order

    Paul and DD, you can object and stick on to jay's order if you wish.
    I'm just helping to split the order so that we won't all be charged by customs (if something does happen)

    Please give your consent and I should be able to make the order ASAP

    I just placed an order with RK yesterday and we've been in contact a lot. the value of my lot is $520 odd. I cut back myself but they've been very nice and meticulous in contacting me about declared value, customs issues. They initiated contact and have exercised caution. Highly recommended. They're really looking after you.

    Like back in an old thread about using credit card conversion v. paypal conversion, I've switched to credit card conversion. It's much cheaper. my cc charges 1.45% of the total value. Paypal cuts u at 2.5% so u can save 1.05% by using cc conversion.

    When i paid via paypal, my final conversion worked out to be 0.9027 which isn't as great as 0.928 but still really good. bottom line, just don't trust paypal.
