TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

Free international postage

Sun 30 Oct, 2011 7:36 am

Hi all,

Doing a bit of "Gear Acquisition" at the moment and found a site that does free international postage, http://www.campsaver.com . If you order over 400 they will ship to AU for free. I put in an order the other day, it was just over $400 ($360 after 10% off for registering and they honored the free postage).

I have seen a couple of bad customer service reports around so that is something to be aware of, but may be worth considering if you have big orders or group buying.

Shame we still have to suffer the restricted brand shipping. But that is another rant all together.

EDIT: I am in now was associated with the company, otherwise I would offer you wall a staff discount :-)

I've often thought about trying to get a group buy going, but the idea of someone elses item needing a return when one person has put the order through sounds like a pita.

Very true cams, I just put another order in, group purchase with some friends. I guess close friends is ok... not sure about group buying with strangers though. Should get my fist order today :-)

Well I got my fist order :p ... everything was as expected. I have to say I am impressed that it is free, It weighed about 6KG, just shows how much profit they must make :-)
