Also I am curious to see the coming leather free version of LCD 2 in Augest, especially the ear pads. That might look cool
Just ordered my LCD-2, so excited!!!!!!! Nah, in Australia you only get taxed if the item is over $1000 AUD, it does not include shipping. I called Customs and checked. Now to sell my left kidney for a Rine Wine Audio Audeze Edition Amp.....

So not fair! Stupid Uk!

Total cost was $1,046.30 everything inclusive (gst, shipping etc etc). It's not too bad I guess. The price is in AUD btw
Shipping for me was $116.07USD, as estimated before checkout.
As a fellow Aussie hoping to buy a pair in the upcoming weeks I am really interested to know about the shipping costs. I don't trust their shipping calculator and am curious to know if it states the actual shipping cost anywhere on the box/documentation. If so what is/was it?
The extra $115 for postage then the terrible PayPal exchange rate is the only thing casting doubt over the whole purchase and it's really bumming me. :/
Guess I'll be ordering mine from headroom instead.
and i paid $144.91 for shipping (as said by their shipping calculator).
And also... How can you say that the PayPal exchange rate is terrible?
I know the AUD is still great against the USD but what is not so great is the 2.5% fee for a currency conversion hidden in the PayPal exchange rates. As far as postage costs, I want to know what they paid to ship them (if it shows it). Not so much what you paid for them to ship it
Sorry for everyone else who is following the thread for all this Aussie related LCD-2 chatter. It's not really suitable for PMs nor is it really suitable to be here...
