FYI Amazon us global shipping
Just thought i would post this here as, had i known about it earlier it could have saved me a significant amount of money. I had been under the assumption that amazon in the US would not ship major items like hand tools, milling cutters etc internationally.
That seems to have changed as i just ordered two sets of Wright tool interchangeable tip circlip pliers and a set of Bondhus ball end t-handle allen keys for $130 + $20 shipping, for reference the same allen key set is $118 at Total Tools and the like.
Seems like a cheap way to get top quality US domestic market tools.

Yep can save money for sure with Amazon - in some cases the shipping is the same or less than Aust Post would charge from a local seller just have to wait a couple of weeks for it - the key is to look for items sold by Amazon themselves rather than individual merchants.
I find the reviews helpful too.

I have been buying a lot of my metrology gear (Mitutoyo, Interapid, Tesa, Brown and Sharpe) from Amazon for years. They have great sales, the shipping is cheap and I have a reasonable level of confidence that I'm getting genuine items.
