I thought we killed this years ago we had a huge Courier debate across several different threads and Quickmail and Ebiz came out on top.

Never mind the fact they have the ridiculous membership fee of $2500 per annum.
So no Mailpac and no more importing until I can find a better way.
Another problem I have is although I submit my invoice it always seems like Customs marks up the value.
Well apparently customs has the right to mark up the value if they want that is why I don't even look for sales anymore unless someone is bringing down the item so if there is a sale on an item of USD800 and you get it for USD400 customs apparently has the right to mark it up back to USD800 if they want because that is the price they have it on record for, its rather ridiculous actually, so no matter who you go with you will suffer from customs.
