    I've had good results with comgateway - US$35 for the 1st 1/2 kg, then US$7/0.5kg after that. No other fees, fairly quick delivery via DHL. I've declared stuff properly that has been over $400 & not been charged GST, it's a bit of a lottery.

    Cheers

    its funny isnt pete ... for every thieving shit trying to dodge their responsibilities as a citizen and taxpayer there are a whole bunch of honest hardworking people who have to pay a bit more to keep the hospitals , schools etc running . Might be time to become an honest citizen or fuck off!!

    I spent my early years working hard paying taxes- wait no I didn't!! I was surfing for the govt sponsored surf team. Damn it's all gonna catch up with me one day

    that customs have set in place...And thats all we were talking about.. where the line is.. nothing more & nothing less.. i don't recall any post in this thread where anyone has talked about HOW to get out of paying GST... If I'm wrong I would like you to quote the post please...

    I'm sorry you didn't fully understanding the gist of this thread..

    PS... theres NO benifit to the thread or fourm in you carrying your slanging match on... (ie thieving shit / fuck off)

    That last sentence was a bit harsh, IMHO, I suggest you read the entire thread and think about it before typing eh.

    So, got a logbook? Paying FBT on the non work related mileage?

    What do you mean Schmidtty is mostly going to spend time on the garage floor in bits?. Come on man - get a grip!

    Careful what you write in Forums - it'll bite you in the ass..

    Oh dear, I think someone has a bit of sand in their vagina.

    No one is doing anything illegal or suspect in any manner. The allmighty Govt has set a $400 limit, feel free to use it. In fact this was recently reviewed and retained at that amount.
    I am sure you never order anything over the net - books or movies off amazon etc or you'll have to be inclined to fuck off as well.

    Maybe a better tack would have been to inquire what the OP was after and why he was looking off-shore - it is quite possibly not available in NZ (as per the factory workshop manual I have just ordered ex USA as no local Honda dealer has been able to locate one for me). More than likely it was due to costing 4 times more in NZ.

    If keeping a 'honest' citizen involves being shafted by paying up to 6 times more for genuine factory parts then I can sleep comfortably with your label. I wonder how those thieving shits at Blue Wing NZ sleep at night.

    More effective than a banjo too. Not as messy either.
