merrells are a PIA, none of the US sites (which are cheap as chips) will ship to oz.
Exactly, why is the huge price difference, ?? Why does a less than 100$ shoe, sell for over here for more than 240$

I'll take a portion of that container for the shoes/bikes and numerous other gear I would love.

JKohn, wonders of the internet.... how did we get along before the www.? Sometimes having access to internet does get a raw feeling, were we better off before we knew we could buy something cheaper elsewhere?
Good and bad, internet is great, as long as comparing apples and apples, definitely opens your eyes to what else is available elsewhere......!!!
Why do people ask "What the hell were you thinking?"
Obviously I was thinking I was going to get away with it and not have to explain it....

Can you throw a conqueror in there for me? ;D

I got a car importing place to bring me back some tyres a few years ago for my xb coupe, 200 shipping all up sea freight. Took two months but saved nearly a grand. They just filled up the empty spaces in their containers.
