The details:
Actually I think I've only seen jv comment once or so in the past few days… You know you've been Ozbargaining too long when you kinda start to miss him.
Their shipping… Horrible
Not anymore; a couple months ago they switched to Australia Post, instead of international couriers.
Wot? I didn't know Australia Post had post offices in the US? ;)
I ordered stuff from them today and the only choices were expensive couriers. I think that economy international post is only an option on a very small range of their products.
Economy international post is available for orders less than $100 and weighing less than 4 pounds. If it costs/weighs more than that, you can split your purchase over several separate smaller orders to save on shipping.
Yes, you have to split rather than combine to save on shipping… silly system, I know ;)
Bum. Thanks. Good to know for next time.
Same here.
If anyone still reads this thread, I raised a ticket using Paypal's their Resolution Centre and I received a refund pretty quickly.
I tried to order stuff the other day, all smallish things and couldn't ge tthe shipping under $40. No point to the discount.
Also still waiting for my order during the 75% off sale… lame.
I got my order from the 75% off sale about two week ago shipped with Aus Post. Were all your items in stock? Maybe shoot then an email, I think the packages are tracked.
LMAO at Aus Post tracking .
Yep, ThinkGeek has extortionate shipping rates for rather poor quality products.
I want that Portal 2 Sentry Turret, but shipping cost is discouraging me :(
Do they still charge $60 shipping to Australia?
Too busy to check for yourself?
+1 Poor shipping.
I've been waiting 3.5 weeks for 4 parcels to arrive using economy shipping.
And they still haven't arrived.
Be prepared to wait a month for you items or pay $60 for DHL to arrive within 1 week.
Didnt get my last order after a month! then they refunded immediately, I suspect they did not post it in the first place! buyer beware!
Not a bargain.
Also, I think I hear jv coming..
