    They do ship internationally - just no free shipping, as in the USA ...

    International:
    International orders will be shipped by UPS International Services or USPS International with additional shipping charges. This process will add up to 5 working days to process your order. International orders will be processed as follows:

    • Orders must be placed Online (Posted shipping rates on order confirmation will not apply to international orders.)
    • Credit card is not possessed at this time.
    • Received orders and Credit Card Billing will be placed on hold until shipping charges are approved by customer.
    • Shipping charges will be calculated and be sent to customer email address for approval.
    • Upon receipt of customer approved shipping charges, customer credit card will be charged and product will be shipped UPS International Services or USPS International.
    • Shipping charges not approved by email will be canceled 15 days from date of email shipping quote.


    Even if with a shipping charge, the cost of these bits is extraordinarily low. For example, a Trend router bit on eBay (Oz) is $80 AUD and they are selling it for $3.99 USD ($5.80 AUD). Okay, you can get CMT bits for about $55 each on average. I purchased $40 worth of bits from Peachtree. What would that retail for in Oz? $400-$500 at least. So shipping could be $40-$50.

    Thank you.

    Meg was in Vienna 5 years ago and wants to return especially for the Christmas Markets.
    At present -- i.e. like right now -- she is having too much fun skiing at Lake Louise.
