One Australian dollar is work 67 US cents (approx) at the moment. The Asian
currency thingy sent the prices of overseas OM gear up heaps.
I've never sent to US, but if FedEx can get from the US to Khancoban, it
shouldn't be a problem.
With customs, I'm not sure. I think it is only applicable on bringing stuff
into the country.
I've got some stuff from the US lately, and never a problem. I've also got some
stuff from Sydney and Melbourne with heaps of trouble! International seems
easier.
Air mail costs me 20-30dollar US. Shipping costs 5-6 dollars and 2 months. Save
in money, spend in time.
