I know this has been discussed a lot recently...
I saw on the r.b.t newsgroup that there was a cheap toolset on Nashbar. I thought, great, I'll go
and see whether they ship to Australia.
They did! And not only that, they had a 20% discount for orders over $100!
Cool - I ended up ordering 3 toolkits (for US$34 - similar to a toolkit at Phantom cycles catalog
for AU$98) - I thought that they would make good presents for cyclist friends. Put in all my
details, selected fast deliver (US$12) and got the confirmation.
I then received a message today:
Dear Mr. Jones, Thank you for your recent order. Our International shipping is handled through
Federal Express for delivery in 7 to 10 business days. The estimated shipping charges for your order

Annoying! All this cheap cool stuff, that you can get for nicks in the US, and we just can't get it!
Oh well - ordered the one from Phantom now! (pro-bike kit has something similary for $76 with a
couple of extra things, but you have to pay an extra $30 postage, plus there is always the chance
you will have to pay duty).
Oh well - again.
