aspqrz02 -> RE: Actual cost of The Operational Art of War IV Box Edition to Australia (12/3/2017 4:32:37 AM)
|
The Matrix price is ridiculous ... whomever they have contracted to do the S&H saw them coming and fleeced them good and proper.
A MUCH cheaper option is to use a US based remailer (I use Shipito whom I have found reliable ... get it posted to the 'PO' Box address they give you and have them remail it to you at considerably cheaper rates.
Just checked, assuming a 2lb package the size of a US Quarto Book, Shipito quotes (to Australia) US$27.57 by Australia Post (actually some US courier who ships by air to Australia Post for the last leg delivery) in 4-9 Business Days. That's about $15 cheaper than the 'rock bottom' price Matrix is quoting even when you add in the postage to Shipito in LA.
Airmail Economy is 25-45 Business Days and $6 cheaper ... and not worth it, IMO, but it *is* available.
If Matrix had bothered to check out an alternative shipper it would probably be more like $20-25 cheaper ... but they didn't.
