I haven't bought from shop@home for a while, but the exchange rate
there is ridiculous.
For US buyers, the UCS Millennium Falcon is only US$499, but for us
Aussies, it's A$979. This equates to an exchange rate of 51c. At
current exchange rates, it should only cost about A$590. Australian
buyers are being ripped off to the tune of $400!
Is there anyone we can contact to have this rectified?

| (...) Yes. If you have any friends in the States, use the US S@H portal and send it to their address, and get them to ship it over. Even if it costs $100 to ship it, you'll still come out well ahead [1]. I understand US customers get free shipping (...) (17 years ago, 1-Aug-07, to lugnet.loc.au)
