More and more people from outside Australia have been finding my little web site here and have been asking me about the possibility of sending my items to them in other countries? The short answer is YES, anything is possible.
The longer answer is that please bear in mind that Australia is a long l-o-n-g way away from most other countries (except perhaps New Zealand) and so shipping even small items will cost a considerable amount. Blame Australia Post, or Fedex, or UPS or whoever you choose to use – they set the shipping rates not me – I merely quote what they tell me the cost to send is… that is to say, I make no money on shipping.
In recent times people from Japan and France have asked me about sending a Model III to them, Fedex quotes me $A470 to Europe or $A430 to Asia. Someone asked about sending a Model 4D to the UK and it was also $A470 with Fedex. Needless to say none of these people went ahead with the purchase. People from the USA often ask me about buying and sending items to their country which makes my mind boggle; this is where all the Tandy/TRS-80 hardware originated from so wouldn’t it be far more plentiful in the US than here? Any savings made by buying from me would surely be eaten up by the postage costs?
However if you are in the US and are really desperate for a computer or part thereof, I’m happy to help out, but just be mindful of the shipping costs, as I say, its a long l-o-n-g way my stuff has to go.
