    Amazon Web Services launched an Australian region in 2012, we launched a Kindle Store on Amazon.com.au in 2013, and we now have almost 1,000 employees in the country," the company said in a statement. "The next step is to bring a retail offering to Australia, and we are making those plans now."
    So far, that is all we have

    got the message "We dont ship to Australia"
    And are not here yet.

    Probably a bit unreasonable to expect them to have arrived overnight

    They DO post some stuff...I've purchased heaps from them over the years, although it has been a while.

    OB...that Hans Stuck DVD came from Amazon Germany.....they still email me occasionally.

    Seems some stuff can be posted and some can not
    I'd say 30% YES, 70% NO from what i have found.

    Then you have your Freight Forwarding companies
    But the higher US Dollar and Freight costs have killed off US shopping for a while now in my view.

    Check your postage/shipping charges as coming from the USA it can be quite expensive.
    I have only bought s couple of Books and Dvd's from Amazon and sent by surface mail did take some time plus they seemed to have to cross the USA first to an eastern state before being shipped 'overseas'.

    Dont forget Uncle Joe's (Joe Hockey) GST on all imported items is due to start VERY soon.........!!!!!
    I stand unequivicably behind everything I say , I just dont ever remember saying it !!
