HI, im thinking of buying some studio monitors from Amazon but i have never bought from amazon and im not sure how the shipping works or if the shipping is worth it. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005F3H6Q8/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER Has anyone bought from amazon to Australia or New Zealand with some advice

sorry to break it to u but you can't get that sent to you most things amazon wont send internationally the only way to get it is if u go threw one of those places that give u an address to there warehouse in america then once they get it they will send it to you and it usually costs $300+ for shipping i tried doing it when i built my first computer and wanted to get parts from america and then found out the only way was threw one of these companies and it costs just as much if i bought the parts in Aus.

Yes, had no problems.

I used a discount code I had for a parcel forwarder, got 40% off with shipito.

Got 558's and a xonar xense both discounted during some tech sale and total price was ~$280 including shipping.

No, but I was considering before I saw the prices, I tend to find everything here in Australia, but then again the prices of our stuff are exceptionally higher :c it sucks, do you know why they are higher?

Huh, seems like most people had bad luck/rates but personally, I had really good luck when I bought from Amazon.

Most of my build, GPU, HDD, SSD, RAM was bought via Amazon and I had saved around $200, to top if off, I got express shipping for dirt cheap.

 

The prices in Australia are artificially inflated because we have better wages, etc. but even when you put those into consideration, the prices are stupid high. 

Sorry if I sound stupid, slightly drunk atm.

We live In an expensive country, higher pay and higher tax. Especially on imported goods

If ur still in high school get it through the shcool coz they do everything for u like I did but otherwise I heard it is a pain in the ass to get one normally and takes forever. Good luck finding a job though, god knows you're going to need it.
