We shipped items to Oz and would warn against using any company that does NOT have an office at destination. Many shipping companies here in will offer good rates BUT most of them don't have offices in OZ and use outside agents for the local customs clearance and delivery, this is where the trouble begins. You pay the shipping company here the quoted price thinking that you have paid door to door inclusive and then the local agent in Oz will want all kinds of additional charges to clear and deliver your goods. My advice is only use a company that has its own company office at the place of destination and make sure the price is all inclusive.
