Further to my post on GST implications, I thought a response from the Australian importer of Trick Flow components was worthy of a separate thread...

As a retailer of golf equipment I'm accutely aware of the prevalence of overseas online purchases and have on many occasions just wished that my customer had at least given me a chance to price goods that they have bought from O/S. I'd rather take a smaller margin than none at all. Unfortunately it's the wholesaler that takes the largest cut, but that's a whole different story....

Anyway, having priced up all my goodies from Summit Racing, I called Fabre, the importer of Trick flow stuff, gave them my list and asked them price up the parts after pointing out a pending order from Summit. The US price with gst and freight is $2800, nearly $2000 cheaper than here.

To their credit, Fabre called me back on 2 occasions to double check details, then George, their sales guy, called me yesterday with a price match.

So, try giving the local guys a chance before you click the buy button, it may just help save a few retailers.
