Thread: How long is the wait for a scope from USA

yup its well over 400, just on a thousand usd.
I just need to learn to forget i order things then I wont be sitting on my hands waiting

sadly im Rural and rural delevery takes an extra 2-3 days for anything usefull to happen

Thats why i have everything shipped to my mates work in town so he can ring me when it comes in.

I will be joining the waiting game tonight Bill.......... might be here for Xmas if im lucky.

luckily its only an upgrade for me so its just me being impatient

Have it sent to your mate on Aus from the states, as their GST threshold is 1000AUD. My father may or may not have been working in Aus for sometime last year.

Yup still cheaper
And exactly what I'm after. Which is more to the point, and really I wanted to see how the system worked.

Basically you order it and unless customs wants gst off it it turns up on your door step. I thaught it has to be harder than that? Or why wouldn't everyone do it? Well it's not and everyone should
