Hallu wrote:Why is it a nuisance ? You just change the address on your campsaver account, and instead of paying Campsaver for shipping, you pay the forwarding company. You've just got to find one with the most shipping options (like shipito) and avoid the ones that force you to use FedEx or other expensive couriers. It can even be less expensive if you ask the forwarding company to compact your items in a small parcel, as CampSaver tends to use bulky parcels unnecessarily.

I would be interested to know, what would you would buy instead?

Yes it is true when posted. And good luck in getting MSR products from them and BD is hit and miss. You can get right through to paying and have your order knocked back.

The fact is that they sell the best stuff, it's simple! If you want it, you pay! Imagine that they never offered it to an Aussie distributor or that the Aussie may have overheads, or even that a local warranty would be an advantage if that helps.
Or yeah, just buy the lesser gear.

As of this very second Campsaver has refused to ship Hilleberg to me, stating Hilleberg will not let them ship to Australia. That is where Ent is getting his facts from. I emailed Hilleberg at about 8am this morning to confirm this new policy, but have so far had no response (no big surprise given time zones etc). The fact someone else has had better luck since is great, but doesn't make Ent's comments untrue, in the case of my situation they were true when he made them and unfortunately remain true, a situation I hope changes overnight.
I can confirm Campsaver are (as of about 7am this morning) happy to ship other products to Australia (and do so free of charge if the order exceeds $400).
