Revisiting Non-US Package forwarding
Posted: Tue Aug 14, 2018 2:34 am
Hey Non-US backers (and DF gurus).
I know i said i was OK with the $250 US delivery fee for postage of a $1500 US DFKS6 pledge to AU but i have had another look at the main Aussie post forwarding offer - ShopMate and it looks like thy have an OK consolidation service finally. It looks considerably cheaper (even with the small US delivery fees this time around) to use a forwarder. $250 US is around $340 AU at the moment. My rough estimate is closer to $200 AU via shopmate.
It would rely heavily on an accurate weight and dimensions quote from DF though.
Any other Southern hem backers have any opinions or thoughts?
