I have and I did.

I bought 2x 225/40R18 and 2x 255/35R18 Toyo Proxes R1Rs through PriceUSA. Not only do Toyo not bring in the 255/35R18 size into Australia the costs were very reasonable.

:thumbsup:

hey hank, what was the total cost for shipping and priceUSA fees if you dont mind me asking?

cheers

Once Fed-Ex has the tyres they are generally here within the week.

Be sure to log into the shipping website and follow your shipment, when my second set of tyres left the warehouse I posted a letter to a mate in Brisbane, my tyres got to me before his letter arrived.

Hey guys I'm about to transfer cash for a set of dunlop star specs I assume they don't include the cost of freight in keeping it under 1k?

All up its costing $1050USD, $388 for shipping. I should be allright in avoiding the GST, etc, right?

Disagree. Nismoid is wrong.

Acs does not take into account the cost of shipping internationally in the initial assessment. You will be fine. Have an itemised invoice, which tirerack do.

Once the value of the actual goods go over 1000, then acs use the total amount including shipping and other costs involved to calculate the duty and any other charges.

Make sense? All the details are on their website.

I have imported in your circumstance,was not charged duty. I also am employed in the industry.

Nismoid was probably mistaken. So you said total cost is $1050 consisting of 662 for goods and 388 for shipping right?

In which case you'll be fine.

If you meant 1050 was for the tyres, and + 388 shipping on top - expect duty + aqis charges.

Exactly, $662 tyres and $388 shipping, I wasn't very clear in my original post sorry.

Sweet so no duty + aqis charges, thanks fellas

Awesome service and about 1/2 the price of most tires here. But they can't ship Yokohama to Australia anymore. Looks like the local Yoko guys kicked up a stink but there are freight forwarding companies in the US that will receive them then post them on to you here ;) Got to love free markets

just a question to anyone who has bought form tire rack.

Did you require tire racks' address to complete the transfer?

My bank asked for one and i did not have it. They ended up putting in Indiana.

Guess ill have to wait and see what happens.
