JBO76 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I thought that it would be usueful to start a thread listing the UK retailers who will ship to Australia and what their rates are. I have read somewhere else that M&S and Next will ship but cant remember how much they Charge. I suggest that we try to build up list including the following inforamtion: Retailer Description of goods shippied Shipping cost Approx time taken to arrive When last used Once I have a feel for how much information there is, I can design a good summary format to enable quick reference.

Guest The Pom Queen Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 What a great idea for a thread, unfortunately I get all my items here in Oz or from the British Shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harpodom Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Next delivers for free now, used them a couple of months ago for pants. Took about 10 days Amazon deliver books and DVDs free if your order is over £20 I think, again, used them a few months ago, again took about 7-10 days Asos I hear deliver for free, Wiggle are good for sports stuff apparently, v cheap compared to aus prices. I think now is a great time to use uk Internet retailers. The aus Internet retail Market is under developed in comparison, the aus dollar is v strong against the pound. Uk retailers are really waking up to the huge potential of the aus Market, particularly as the uk economy is so weak ATM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 There is a thread already active on this subject, but it tends to focus on clothing shops only http://www.pomsinoz.com/forum/news-gossip-chat/72402-ladies-shops-deliver-australia.html Some of those clothes shops also deliver mens and kids stuff also so the title is a bit misleading.

Guest westozlou Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Schuh also deliver £18 but delivery is supposed to be within 7 days. Next is free delivery and usually 7-10 days. M&S is £15 delivery and within 14 days. Debenhams deliver £15 and within 14 days. Dorothy Perkins £15 and within 14 days. New Look £10 delivery and within 14 days. Also Gap in america deliver to here but I'm not sure of cost. happy shopping! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boganbear Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Play.com doesn;t but I get them posted to my dad's address and he posts them to me. Only costs about 3 quid but it can take up to 3 weeks. Book Depository are very good and postage is free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest colodie Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I've tried to order items from Debenhams twice now, and both times the order has been lost....they refunded after they informed me the goods were lost (after 5 working days, which seems strange since I was expecting the delivery to take 2 weeks anyway), though I'm still out of pocket with international exchange fees on my Oz credit card. Shalln't be using them again...if anyone knows any toy shops that deliver out here, would love to know about it, must get my hands on the Octonauts toys before Christmas!

motherof2 Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I used this company when I was in the UK; http://www.lookfantastic.com/home/Logout.html Checked before we came out and it's free delivery to Aus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBO76 Posted September 14, 2011 Author Share Posted September 14, 2011 Just wanted to say a huge thanks to everyone who has posted on this thread. It looks like there is a big selection of retailers who will post to Oz and hopefully in time, they will start to remove VAT charges on Oz based orders - now that really would make for a bargain!

Petals Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Marks and Spencer quick delivery now, about 7 - 10 days. My daughter buys from http://www.asos.com free delivery I get lots from Amazon and have been a customer for years and get discount on most of my orders now. Ordered a box set DVDs about 5 days ago and they arrived today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Pom Queen Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Don't forget EBay I've just ordered 3 curvy Kates for $90 brand new with tags, over here they are $98 each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoandJon Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Ebay is good - varies according to what the seller is prepared to do Just be careful of possible customs duties and taxes if they're shipping it to you directly and how they label it on the customs declaration.
