I'm Australian >.<

post #1 of 19
Thread Starter 
i emailed caselabs with my location for the shipping quote for a MAGNUM TH10 and i was informed that it would be $377.00, I really don't want to pay that much in shipping........unless its for a car.
is there anyone from Australia that found a better way to get one out here or know where i can find one already in the country, otherwise i would like to know if there are any similar products from other manufactures that don't carry the massive postage cost.

Thank you.

The much larger TX10 case is flatpack and therefore may be cheaper to ship. It will be more expensive though. Presumably the M8 is cheaper to ship too if you can make do with a smaller case. You may be able to group up with another ozzy and save on shipping possibly.

Maybe ask nicely if they could/would flatpack it, if it would be cheaper that way?

Australia is a tough one. There are some hidden taxes involved as well (per my conversation with FedEx) in addition to customs. New Zealand is less, which doesn't seem to make sense. Flat packing would help, but not by much (The TH10 is only about $50-60 more than an M8). I'm hoping we can do better with the STH10, but we're still working on packaging design. The trick is to use USPS, but they have a 79" girth limit which very hard to meet, even for a flat packed M8. The larger cases will never meet USPS requirements.

XSPC Cases from PCCG?
They are good.

Don't hate me CaseLabs.
I LOVE YOUR CASES
but getting them here.
Is a pain.

I'm not crazy about XSPC's cases. The H1 is pretty much a direct copy of MM's U2-UFO. If MM is getting royalties, then fine, but I'd being willing to bet they aren't. At least MM had an original idea rolleyes.gif The things I have from XSPC around here are typical Chinese knock-offs - functional, but won't win any quality or engineering awards.

I know.
But its alot easier for us to obtain them.. The only time I but from out side of the country is when I absolutely have to. (Not saying you're expensive, but postage from the States is so ridiculous)
And when I have to Postage nearly kills me.

Sorry if I offended you. Once again I am a fan of your products,
its just the XSPC H1 or XSPC H2 will do what he needs and it would be cheaper for him to obtain.

If only caselabs had a reseller in AUS grouphug.gif
Have you thought of Listing PCCG as a reseller?
Or would that be a headache?
Cause I know I'd grab one if I could biggrin.gif

I understand and believe me, I wish I had a solution frown.gif Our cases are tough for retailers, because there isn't much margin to work with and there are so many configuration possibilities. The only way to get the shipping down substantially would require ordering a very large number of cases and understandably, retailers are reluctant to make that kind of commitment on a specialty item like our cases.

Yeah. I don't actually know much about the whole Supply and demand side of business.
I just buy products I want biggrin.gif

Sorry if it came off like I was hating on CaseLabs.
I'm hating on USPS. Slow international post for lots of money.
