They have that in Aus and Direct Deals is at the top of the list.

If there is an online site overseas that you are not too sure about just Google the reviews for that site that should give you a good idea,but make sure the buyers are genuine I just check on any good forums, its a bit time consuming but worth it sometimes. wave

I've been having a peep at some sites that people have mentioned and unless you're after brands, I'm not sure they are all that cheap confused

Especially the grocery ones, such as Catch of the Day - I can do better at my local supermarket just by grabbing specials as they come up or buying home brands conversing

Plus the temptation is there to order things that you don't usually buy because they are on sale and also to justify delivery costs confused

Still got an IGA, the Post Office + fuel is opposite the Mill on the southern end of town. There is a Community Centre, Bookshop, Art Shop, NAB Bank, Pub, Creekers Cafe, a Bakery, DIP, Council and Blue Nurse Centre and couple Schools. Last week the Ensay Store closed down, the attached Post Office is being moved to the Ensay Pub at the end the month, the other Old Ensay Pub is a Art Gallery.

sorry! pressed the wrong buttonblushing

Rob they wont post to a PO Box most likely because they use couriers and courier companies cannot deliver to PO Boxes as Australia Post wont let them.

Couriers by rights, should be quicker and easier to trace if the delivery is slow

I think if you put your own address it should be ok as these online stores require a signature so you would have to pick up from the post office anyway.

Bit hard if you live in a place like Ensay, the PO is the central collection centre and dispatch place for remote communities.

Martia: Please explain Rob as you certainly are Not! or ever was an itinerant.

Yes daggy and courier service that plies the mountains delivers to the local store, (it closed down last week) but post office part remains open until end this month then parcels and mail will be delivered to the PUB...

Rob you can always prearrange and nominate a contact person at the shop/pub to have your packages delivered.

Having used numerous courier companies in my work over the last four year I know most of them cannot accept a PO Box for delivery, it will just be returned to sender. You can nominate a delivery point and contact person, and even better if you can give the phone number of that person as well.

Its not my problem, i've already a proper address PO Box 30, i only pay $19 for the po box because like a number of areas around here, there is no mail delivery, that applies to most of the Alpine Highway.
There is a lady on eBay that sells Crazy Sales stuff, she doesn't mind sending to my PO Box so its not a problem.

If you don't have one already, the Topro PVR is a good buy on that oo.com.au site, mine cost $349 at BigW.
If you are not home, it records up to 2 shows at once and has plenty of storage in the 500gb hdd.
You just have to remember to delete what you've watched unless you want to keep it to watch again.
I like being able to zip past the adverts.
