Was following this deal http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/120740 and thinking to combine some items to save shipping, checked this one which I wanted for a while and found it is at the lowest price as per 3xCamels ,turned out shipping is $10.58 USD for 2 items.
CamelCamelCamel.
I have 2 items and the shipping is US$10.58…
Not really worth the hassle when it's cheaper at places like MSY
yep, you got your fair points, if you can appreciate MSY's renowned customer service attitude, however I cannot,I'd rather like to deal with American Amazon than with Australian MSY.
Truth is they are by far not the only one doing it for that price. Seems to be standard for a lot of Aussie retailers.
How about PCCG for $189? That's assuming you can pick it up in VIC, rather than post.
If the difference was higher, I'd rather go o/seas just to stick it to the local rip-off merchants. However, for $10 - $15, I'd rather go for a local shop.
No real difference in price to local prices. Not a true OzBargain style. Needs to be $20 cheaper.
182 at Umart also
I don't understand why this would be the case. No matter how bad MSY's customer service may be, if it's DOA, they have to take it back (their policy is on their website) and if it's dead later, you'll have to RMA. Both these processes will take longer with Amazon than with MSY where you can just pop in.
Go to ARC then?

buying usa over local for a similarly-priced product is silly. good luck if you have any warranty issues
http://www.umart.com.au/pro/products_listnew.phtml?id=10&id2… $182 locally supplied and easier warranty returns
Its cheaper to buy locally, can't classify this as a deal considering.
How much is shipping?
