Ok here we go.

ok we get asked a lot of questions about buying from overseas suppliers.

please lets get one thing straight we do sell goods on line like cameras etc.

i have done some research and we found this to be true.

if you decide to buy electronic or any thing from overseas or even here in australia please keep this in mind.

if you buy a camera for example it will be shipped from overseas and if you are one of the lucky few then you would get it straight away with no problems. but if you are one of these people that get stopped by customs then that when your problems start.

i have worked out that on a purchase of a $400.00 camera it will cost you on top of the camera including all fees that they will charge you around $110.00 to $145.00 extra.customs will charge you for all taxes and duty and all there fees that they will incure to open and exmaine the products.

also custome can back charge you for all you products that you bought into the country in last few years. please beware of this because if you managed to get get away from it in the past, if one of the new purchases get stopped then they will do a search on all your purchases in the past and back charge you all relevant fees.

new word must learn here in australia " DROP SHIPPERS"

ok drop shippers are sellers on on the web that have "NO STOCK" at all,,,

but they will advertise the product on the web ebay etc.

when you buy the products from them and pay for the goods then they will transfer the funds overseas to buy the item and ship it direct to you.

to me drop shippers are the worse kind of people.

best way to tell if he is a drop shipper is to ask basic questions.

1. do you have the products ready to go. ****ANS: yes no problems

2. can i pick up ****ANS: no you can not

3. can i organise my own courier  *****ANS: no can not

4. why is that so ***** ANS: its company policy

you can see from the above questions and answers that it all points to one thing only DROP SHIPPERS

why is it ok to take our money and wont allow me to pick up and organise my own couriers.

because he does not have any stock on hand.

also it will cause you headaches if it get caught by customs, and he will have this in fine print stating he takes no responsiblity for any taxes duty incured on any purchases.

this is guide is not saying do not buy from overseas but make sure you ask him if it gets stopped by customs who's responsiblity is it. also keep a copy of that email please.

hope this guide helps you out and hope you vote for this and thanks for you support
