Cheapest UK -> Australia shipping forwarder (buying from Amazon.co.uk)

Hey all,

I am interested in this Nilfisk Pressure cleaner which is available at Amazon.co.uk
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nilfisk-C120-3-6-Pressure-Cleaner/dp… (currently out of stock though)

While it was in stock previously, Amazon.co.uk won't ship this particular model to Australia. They ship some other model, which I don't want.

Can anyone recommend a cheap UK->Australia shipping forwarder.
Don't care if it takes a month to get here.

Have tried hopshopgo and borderlinx (28 degrees M/C). Quote comes to around £100, which is even more than product itself !

Item weight is 14 KG. Dimensions are not provided.

  thanks, will check it out.
  
  EDIT: Both of them are pretty expensive.
  MyUKMailBox wants to charge £76 and MyUKMail wants upwards of £50

Also, check if you can get it from amazon.com.de or amazon.com.il - who may ship more products than the .co.uk will.

I think the other issue of using a UK forwarder is that you would have to pay the VAT @20% whereas if you can find a pressure washer which ships to Oz direct from Amazon then you'll save 20% off the price which will help lower the overall delivered cost. I purchased this Nilfisk pressure washer last month and Amazon UK shipped direct to Perth no problem:-

  I dunno if you actually posted that deal for above Nilfisk, but yeah, that's what started it all.
  I have a camel price watch setup for that model and what you say is absolutely sensible.
  I might just wait till it comes down in price.
