Isis use UPS which is a premium service at a premium price. The postage was about $200. The advantage? I guess is fast delivery - about 1 week.
When the goods arrive in Aus the government apply GST - 10% and duty?? which all comes to a total of $220.
UPS make contact with you when the parcel arrives and advise you of the tax and duty and upon payment they release the goods for delivery.
It all helps Kev pay off his debt to the rest of the world.

Hey Pecal, thanks for that..errrr I got the GST thing, but was wondering about the customs duty is all.

I KNOW about the GST.............man my wife & I are in the movie rental business and we pay so MUCH GST on everything we rent out....not ONCE but on every hire........rent a singe movie 1oo times = 100 times GST.........it sux...don't mind paying it once, but every time its a bit harsh !

ROG246,

Received the goods and tax invoice today - here's a breakdown of the charges.
GST - $156.59
Customs enrty fee - $55.20
Security fee?? - $9.95
Well I feel satisfied that I have done my bit this week for the ailing economy.
Just as an aside, I'm delighted with the Isis kit. Well put together and very comprehensive - just bustin' to get into it.

Peter

Mine should only be a couple of days away. I thought that if there was no equivalent Australian made product you can apply for a customs exemption as there is no local industry to protect. Probably not worth the effort for $55.
Same as you - cant wait to install it.

Cheers Bob

They are put together well, although they really could have been designed with a little more thought. it looks so Hi-Tech that they could have then mounted on the sides the plugs for the wires so then a cover could be made to just show the clear cover. would then look nice...

just my 2c worth

any way have fun installing it and what ever you do and i cant stress this enough DO NOT PUT POWER (12V+) down the input wires on the Master Cell

they are all earth triggers and you will ruin it quick smart.

Peter, I've got your number filed away and I'm still keen to come check out your car and those pesky alternator brackets - a bit busy this weekend though. These electrical gadgets sound interesting too. Will be in touch if that's still OK.
