Husqvarna 445 chainsaw purchased from USA. All good!

[ddr]

I just emailed Treestuff. See what happens. I am in the market for a new saw.
Wayne

Wayne I may be in the market also, just depends on how the new bar on my current saw goes.  I Tree stuff recon its about $160ish for shipping of the Husky, so a bit over $400.  Same saw here is $669.

I've noticed that shipping on items has steadily gone up in the last 12 months.. they must have cottoned on..

Hey Mayney
Did you log onto Amazon and simply purchased the item? I am looking at an Echo saw from them.

P.S. was it from Patio Lawn and Garden?

Hi Donuts,
Yeah that's right mate, you will see a notification saying if that item cannot be shipped to address otherwise all good!
Good luck

noticed that as well. (Though could be cost of living increase.)

Tried to pretend to purchase any type of chainsaw on Amazon and it kept coming up as not being able to ship. (OZ) I will have to use a fowarding address.

i bought a couple of things off amazon recently, a log splitter and an axe. delivered no problems. i tried to buy a sharpener off them and got the same message "unable to ship to oz"

Guys the link I put up will send them here but you need to email him. Pretty sure payment was via paypal.

I got the same about the sharpener

[fuji]

I know, I know, I'm being anal about this but I want an Echo or a Stihl and they won't ship. s%*t. I will have to go through an agent and hope they have paypal when I buy. 
Wayne

Okay I have thought about this. I am going to buy a small Echo or Stihl around the 2-3 hundred mark and have it shipped to someone like (shipito) or suggestions given to me and If it works I will then go and buy the $500 jobbie for the fourby.

Hmmmm? Is that constitutional?

[Bird]

Hmmmm? Is that constitutional?

KTM a motorcycle manufacturer did it with USA dealers 12-18mths ago
but people made a work around..
Theres a group riders in USA on one forum, that now buy the parts for you, and ship them instead They been doing it for 12-18mths.


From the comments
"The Competition Act 2010 at s45 prevents contracts, arrangements and understandings that lessen competition.
Surely this fits the bill.
Given they've gotten together to do it makes it a cartel, and that is criminal conduct under Part IV Division 1. If the ACCC does nothing re this they may as well remove the COnsumer from their title."

Just ordered one of these from tree stuff. 1 week delivery to Melbourne according to the FedEx transit notification. Postage a bit expensive but still works out about half the price I've seen here.

Delivered Friday. 

5 days order to door. Very happy with Treestuff service 

Now I just need to find a bag to keep it in.
