DUDE! $300! What happened to the simple kit w were discussing!

Anyhoo, what'd ya decide on, and hoo'd ya buy em off? pm me if its too sensitive to tell here.

Dont get to frantic, patience is the key to lockpicking, and if you dont have it, start practicing!

mine (to canada)

was opened, not a big deal, but customs charged 7% gst, which ended up like 3 dollars - and a 5 dollar handling fee for the privelage of letting them OPEN MY PACKAGE. I was ticked at that - but I got my picks.

30% tax though? 300>>90 tax>>>CRAZY!

what 'is' tax there?
The meaning of life, the universe and everything is 42.

Inflation however, may have changed this.
...
edit: yup, its definately 43 now

check out http://www.customs.gov.au. click on import/export and brows arround for a bit. you will find that it mentiones that products that are valued over $50 attract gst and over a certain amount (can't remember how much) attract import tax depending on the product.

there's also a picture on the home page of a customs dude destroying the product of someone who didn't pay their tax.. :) :wink:
