Bugaloo
We were the ones that ordered on our own backs last time, 8 bugs were costing us $ 59 Aud then, then postage to Los Angeles (A friend as they dont post to Oz), then postage to Australia ($49.00 Aud). We brought in about 50 bugs from memory.
Then redistributing them locally here, Postpaks, and $1.00 a package minimum. (About $2.40 each time). Basically each bug cost us around $11 Aud to land here & repost.
Add to that the Bank fees and credit card fees as we did accept credit card payments. You can see $13.00 isn't too far off with the exchange rate as it was then.
A lot of people scream about not being able to get them, and when someone does, they scream about the prices.
Ideology were set getting free freight, cause thats what really botches the whole thing and blows the price out of the water.
We have looked at taking over the Geoshop (we originally applied for it, but Ideology were chosen by Groundspeak before we even could get returned mail from them ! ).
I have requested info from all parties involved, but as of yet have heard zilch.
If your keen to bring back a stack, I'll fund it.....and resell them from here. (And take credit cards and EFT transfers)
