Default Fees

I recently got some parts from the US and they organised Bax Global to deliver to the airport, the Freight was only $250.00us for 2 large heavy boxes.
However Bax Global then charged me $750.00AUS for a whole range of things from Freight to the customes agent, airport handling fee etc etc.

I questioned every line and that bill was reduced to about $400.00.

The items still worked out much cheaper than buying in Australia, some were not available in Australia anyway.

I think the best way is to get a direct shipment to your door, using Fed Ex and althought the cost may seem high it will be cheaper in the end.
