Right, Black Friday is approaching so we're likely to be inundated... I'd therefore like to ask all members a favour, please please please use the "Quick Estimate" to generate a quote rather than emailing in. This form is accurate, it pulls from the same back end as our quotes, if the data input is correct the total will be the same.

Some tips on the fields:
Purchase Price:
Please check if there's sales tax applied, this is especially common for items sourced in the EU, sometimes this is only added at the final step of check-out
Shipping Cost (country of origin):
This is the field most entered wrongly, it's simply the cost of local delivery in the country of origin. So if the item is sourced in the US it'll be delivery to New York, in the UK it'll be delivery to London etc.
Currency:
Only the currencies listed are supported on the quick estimate, if you leave dollars selected and put a ¥ in the text field the estimate will just fail.
Item Category:
This determines duty percentage, so using the wrong one will mess up the final number. Please note that "Other" is no guarantee that the item will not have duties applied, it's just impossible to add every item to the site.
Weight (in kg):
Remember to use the shipping weight and not the item weight, a laptop is not 1.2kg to ship
If the total is acceptable you can submit directly from this page to us, we'll confirm and take it from there. This should ensure that the responses are as quick and accurate as possible.
For time limited specials payment via instant EFT or cards will be required. We can't accept responsibility for an item selling out, you will of course be refunded in full if that happens.
So tomorrow is the day! Happy shopping!
Payment for stock or time limited offers will need to be via "instant clear" EFT or card payment.
Orders will not be placed until funds have cleared, no exceptions.
