Hello, finally our box of goodies arrived after fearing that it may be lost.
So it's arrival is good news, however the bad news is it went through
customs and ya know what that means... OUCH! we were hit with a $97 tax
bill! (it was $106 but I managed to get some taken off) so Gary, Aaron, Ken,
Peter and myself the information and costs for this will be sent to your
email. Since there was 5 of us I calculated 20% from our individual
purchases.  I havn't worked out the remanding postage yet as I am to pick
the box up tomorrow.  Oh and yeah! I had a hissy-fit at them :P $69.87 of it
was GST BLOODY GST! how rude I thought considering it was purchased outside
of Australia GRRRRR!...

Mel (who really didn't want to deliver the unwelcomed news :(   )

(...) Yeah, I got that too on a box of grey from Canada - 5% import duty, 10% GST! Kicked up a stink, but no avail... ROSCO (24 years ago, 4-Apr-01, to lugnet.loc.au)
