I have no problems with that scenario Pete. And would be happy to drive up to Sydney to collect. Todd is thinking of heading up to Sydney soon as well, so there will probably be ways of getting the gear to Melbourne within the MINI2 community I reckon.

My only concern is that by getting all the goods sent to one location we're ripe for the picking with customs. That said if we're still getting a good deal on the actual goods, and we're presumably likely to save a bit on postage then even if we do get a Customs charge it may not be that bad, although I'm not aware of the rate that gets charged, but I think it is under 20%. But if the invoice falls under the import threshold we might be right in any case.
