Give Aliexpress a go. If it's available from HK or CN or TW sellers on ebay Australia, chances are its available on Aliexpress, sometimes cheaper, plus they offer better postage options, which can sometimes only take around 5 days to arrive from China.

With weekends now being free and things I want to do to the cruiser and camper I have been looking (shopping) on Ebay. It does not help going camping for nearly3 weeks with the Ebay Guru (JK) and him telling me all the bargains he buys.  :D

I am stunned how they make money on some of the items they sell which includes postage from China and Hong Kong.

Example 280 pieces of heat shrink ( different sizes) in a plastic container del for $7.80 from Hong Kong.  Your lucky to get 15 pieces for $11 at a retailer.

Everyday I go to the post office and there is a parcel.  ;D  You don't have to spend much to get some great buys.

I have 6 months worth of weekend things to do with my purchases.

If you can get it for $5 on ebay then you can get it for 50c on alibaba.

Only problem is you have to buy a container load.

And don't deal with the Western union only cons.

Where else can you go shopping and compare prices and quality for the same item from several suppliers and only wear as much or as little clothing as you want.
I hope your dress code for MySwag is  up to standard  ;D
