I want to buy some extra Tek TM500 plugins. The units I'm after generally go on E-bay for between $25 & $60 each. No worries. Unfortunately the E-bay Global Shipping program means each plugin has an extra $50-$70 shipping on it.
If I take 3 plugins I have here as an example, I have 3Kg of actual weight, or 2.3Kg of "cubic weight" as per Aus-Post. So I'd be looking in the order of $50-70 shipping total for the 3. That makes purchases like that considerably more attractive than the Ebay GSP.
I used to use Bongo to consolidate and forward with great results, but they've since been bought out by FedEx and their rates aren't as good as they used to be. Has anyone used ShopMate and what sort of service did you receive?
