Amen, Bro. I used to sell and trade collectibles world wide. Shipping to Australia and Canada always gave problems. The buyer got stuck with the loss. I still will not ship to those countries.

I've shipped from the states probably every year for the past 10, including twice last year and never had an issue.

But I'm well aware that you don't ship to Australia. I recall a thread where a countryman of mine tried to buy something from you. Rather than having the decency of simply saying "sorry I don't ship internationally" you completely ignored his multiple attempts at correspondence.

If you have nothing to contribute to the thread, stay off it.

Your security software must be blocking it. It's usually Microsoft. You need to go to permissions and add the link to your allowed programs. Semper Fi.

TOTW will ship to New Zealand , we landed a small shipment of flints and cleaning jags etc a couple of months ago , trouble is Track will only ship 12 flints maximum of each size and the freight costs $53 US , they use a carton about 1' square and 2" thick no matter what you buy so it pays to fill it because the shipping is always the same cost . It cost me $7.11 US for a fouling scraper inc freight when the scraper cost $3.99 from TOTW so it cost $3.12 for shipping that one item , It would have been twice that if I hadn't shared the order with a mate and halved the freight costs .

For small brass items like the fouling scraper or cleaning jags, would it be cheaper to find a small machine shop and have them make those items? The shipping costs are outrageous. Just a thought.

Not at the minimum base hourly rate to be charged.

And for we Aussies thats our problem nowadays, even when we're prepared to accept the expensive freight you guys feel too inconvenienced to accept us as customers.

So much for being loyal allies and kindred since WW1, as it is I have to get a trusted friend in the South to order what I need and pay freight to his address, then forwarding freight costs on to me here in Australia.

BTW theres little to no problem getting ML's and accessories from the USA to Australia.

I do the same for a motorcycle buddy in Norway.

Right on brother, I've been ordering, paying for and receiving ML's and accessories from the States since 1985, strangely enough the problem of getting many American retailers to accept our business started when the Covid "plandemic" began early 2020.

I had a long standing active account with TOW who later refused my business on the grounds that no US postal or freight service would send goods to Australia. So I tested that by using a friend in South Carolina who had no such problem sending me a package of cleaning jags and coning tools.

The latest and most disappointing refusal was from Kiblers, no chance of ordering a ML kit, but happy enough to supply a few odds and ends; including the latest news on whats available as kit ML's.

I've had no problem with Jim Chambers or Pecatonica River though, so there it is we Aussies seem to be the "Jews in WW2 Europe" when it comes to some of the more elite ML suppliers in the USA.

It's not being inconvenienced: it's losing money. On several occasions I shipped items to customers in Australia who, upon being told what the duties were, did not pick up the shipment. Customs in your country sometimes would not release items to the customer, and kept them.
So instead of getting sensitive, next time you can assume the risk with your time and money....
