Unless they run a fulfilment center, they have to do that doc for each and

But surely if they warehouse some stuff in Australia (assumption!!), the
import orders would be fairly large?

Reread my sentence just above your assumption. Carefully. Think about what
the difference between retail fulfillment and a warehouse to support stores
is. Unless they are doing retail fulfillment IN australia, each and every
order needs to get *separate* import documentation. No matter how small.

OK. So I made an assumtion which *may* be false.

It *is* false.

I've seen nothing from LD about it.

Um, does it have to be personally addressed to you before you accept it?

I am sorry that I cannot quote Brad's exact words, I did not have permission
(or desire) to tape record them... but I am telling you what he said, and if
he's not "LD" I don't know what is.

To repeat my paraphrase of his words, paraphrased differently:

Not every country gets their own fulfillment center. It is not economical to
do so. You are going to be fulfilled from somewhere else and one of the big
challenges in your case is your own government's (1) paperwork requirements.

I'm sorry if you find that hard to accept, but take it or leave it. Look at
the bright side, you get S@H before Japan which has even bigger challenges.

1 - silly, IMHO, as I personally would not charge import duty on anything
but that's just me.
