Hi,

Thanks for the answers, most apprecitated.

I realise I'm probably going to have to fork out an extra 10% for GST 
when it gets here....

The big question is will I have to fork out extra money to the 
courier service for any charges???

Certainly as you said, if the courier charged you an extra $100 (One 
Hundred Dollars) I might be thinking twice about getting it...

Unfortunatly $100 is too much for me to not worry about.... I do hope 
thats a typo and you really only meant ten dollers.

Thanks,
Rusty

As I understand it is all sent via Fed-Ex courier service.  Has 
anybody been hit up for extra fees by Fed-Ex when they deliver? Don't 
want to have the MD delivered and have to fork out extra fees before 
I even  get it.

>>> As far as I remember, FedEx didn't charge me extra. They may 
have, but it would have only been a very small amount, nothing too 
much to  worry about - definately less than $AU 100.
