Hi I'm just after some advice please.
Have had a few things shipped from the us in the last 12 months. Roka and SLF products and the max I paid was $50 us for a large box from Roka.
My quarq bit the bullet a couple months back and I sent it off to quarq in Spearfish to have a look at. Cost me $22 aud.
Quarq have agree my unit is broken and offered an exchange (as its out of warranty) on one of the new d zero units. With carbon cranks it is $699 us which is about $920 aud right now. We pay taxes on any purchase over $1000aud.
My issue is I have been quoted $150 us for shipping the unit here. Does this seem extreme to anyone who has posted anything out of the us and particularly to Australia?
I appreciate some advice as I'd like to get another quarq unit but this seems like an excessive amounts to pay for shipping.
