You only pay customs if the gst and other tax on the item is over $50. Some RC stuff is taxed at 5% but most is not taxed any other than just GST.

So you can order up to $500 australian and customs wont charge GST.

I have had a 3 orders over 500 AUD and only one of them attracted GST. I spoke to the people and customs and they said they dont claim unless the goods are over 500 AUD.

I find tower to be very good. I have made close to 30 orders (I order alot of stuff for others at the track.) and they have never stuffed up. The only problem was my falt when i selected surface mail and it took 10 weeks to get here.

I dont even think twice about ordering from them. My latest was a Nitro TC3 came in at 483 AUD including the postage costs. I ordered it on the monday and it was here that friday.

To buy it at the LHS they had $750. There are savings to be made.
