I have just been browsing the Lego Shop @ Home site (I live in Australia), and
the Power Functions elements are now available. Great! $7.99 for the XL Motor,
and $9.99 for the regular motor (that's a bit odd, but anyway). For under $30
AUD I can get two XL motors and a regular motor to go with my power pack and
existing regular motor!
But here's the catch: Lego want $30 AUD for shipping! Orders under $25 get a $25
AUD postage fee. This is crazy! If I ordered a $10 item, I'd pay more postage
than the item is worth!!
Obviously these parts are being shipped from somewhere outsite Australia.
I have sent Lego an email, but to no avail. It appears I would be better off
ordering these parts from a US BrickLink site...
C'mon Lego, get your act together!!! I know I would buy from the site IF their
postage was reasonable! The amount is extremely excessive. Any of my co-aussie
Lego fans out there hear me?

| (...) G'day Ian, I hear ya mate! :) A number of us in Sydney group our Shop@Home orders together so that the 'high' shipping cost is spread out amongst a number of us. We normally break the shipping down based the 'size' each person contributes to (...) (16 years ago, 10-Jan-08, to lugnet.technic)
