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

Is there anyone we can contact to have this rectified?

Consistency of pricing between markets is an issue on the Ambassadors’ list
which is being pursued with LEGO.
