    Howdy all,

    Was just wondering if there are any online Australian shops people recommend?

    Specifically for electronics type of products like Komplett? Or even one with decent segments for that like pixmania (1 can't believe they dont have their own amazon)?

    Cheers guys

    I've bought a lot of books off amazon (.co.uk and .com) - I've found that it's often been cheaper, even with the shipping charges included.

    Cheers - i have bought off amazon.com already but the shipping tends to be a bit steep for single items. It was about $40 to ship an underwater camera case the last time i ordered something (20% of the total).

    I'd second (or third?) the amazon option.

    Sometimes though it's worth just Googling whatever you want to buy and then enquiring at individual retailers about shipping. A few times I've phoned up, paid by credit card and had them ship to me and it's been cheaper than buying online the the usual way. Did this with a camera as well as a computer.
