Dont use any of the International air couriers (UPS or Fedex) unless you absolutely *need* it by a certain date.. you are guaranteed to get slugged for GST, Customs, Processing Fee's, and any other additional amounts they can think of.
USPS (United States Postal Service, as opposed to UPS - United Parcel service) is good value for money, and *normally* gets to Australia from Tower Hobbies within 7-14 days. Gary and I have both had one order that has taken many weeks in the last few years, but 90% of the time they're good.
And try not to order more than about $500-$600 worth per order, even through USPS, or you will probably (not always) have to pay GST - They hold your parcel at the post office until you come and pay up. If the amount owing is less than $50 (10% of $500), then they dont bother to collect it. _________________ Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people
