I was a bit wary when I set it up. In fact I'll probably be a bit wary up until I have the item in my hand.

I also did a little research and it seems there are a lot of fake complaints to make the company look bad, this happens on other mail forwarder forums too. I checked on a couple of Aussie forums not related to Shipto and heard nothing but praise, so who do you believe?

At the moment, I'm willing to take the risk. If Amazon or some other retailer decides to offer international shipping I'll probably change my order as it cuts out the middle man.

In Australia we only have to pay GST (similar to VAT) if the item is over AUD$1000.

At least this is one benefit of living here.

OMG! I could think of a hundred benefits to living in Australia. I would emigrate there tomorrow if I could.

Sorry, I can't consider myself luckier. In a country with a messed up economy and 3rd world politicians, minimum salary is less than 500 euros, we don't get half the stuff you guys in the UK get, games are far more expensive on release date and they maintain that price for a much longer period. Many games here are opened by distributors to include instructions, translation stickers and an authentication stamp that's an atrocity and hides an additional tax that's even illegal according to the UE rules and nobody does anything about that, so the original cellophane with the playstation/nintendo stripe is removed. One of the main importers in this country is directly connected to the entity that created the stamp, which eliminates all the competition from smaller companies and other importers that could get the games directly from the UK etc for a cheaper price than the retail value.
