No worries, dont want to get in trouble for posting dodgy items. I am sure they will be fine. I will put them in zip lock bags.

The cookbook sounds wonderful.  I just wish the shipping rates were more reasonable.  I have entered the book twice paying via PayPal and each time I get a total that includes AUtax plus 65.00 shipping with the final total AU121.50 even though it shows my address in the US and international post.
So I cancelled and emptied the shopping bag. 

In the past I have purchased many books (and other items) from OZ and have never seen these kind of shipping charges. 
I don't need to have it sent express post.  I usually get things in a reasonable amount of time sent regular post (unless there is a strike or some such interruption).

Andie I sympathatise with you.  I have the post charge book in my hand. The book weighs 950 grams.

The book if sent  by registered international per paid padded bag - merchandise  up to 1 kilo  would be $35.85.

The book if sent by registered  international -parcel  over 750 grams up to 1 kilo would be  $36.50

The book if sent by iexpress post international - per paid satchel  up to 2 kilos would be $62.85. This woild be useful if buying 2 books!

Courier service varies between $30.75 and $67.55

Sea mail is $21.40

It should take no more than 10 days for delivery depending on how it was sent.

Outrageous  pricing. But the wages are very high in Australian Post. The only people sending letters these days are politicians who get massive discounts.  What a massive waste of trees. Everybody else is using email.  But oh wait a minute the dumb people would just ban our SPAM? If I get one more pollie letter I am returning to sender.

Oh o soap box Judy!

Sorry it is so ridiculous too….I am going to the States in July if you can wait that long. Can bring a copy and mail it from there…email me privately if this works for you…otherwise, I am happy to send it slow boat, we dont offer that on our site due to the timing being anything from 30 - 90 days…but happy to do that if you would like me too as well. Let me know

This is true, we do not have the buying power clearly that the publisher does…so try that as well.

Thanks for the offers to send it but I already have a way of getting it that will be much easier.

A friend is going to be in OZ with a camera crew for 6-8 weeks, at least, during April to June (locating sites for filming a movie) and will have room in their equipment cargo pod for things going both directions and will get the book while there.

Good to see that your book problem has been resolved.  Isn't it wonderful, the help offered from our forum family.  I also have a connection going to San Francisco soon and was thinking of approaching him, but everything has worked out, so that is great.

You will love the book Andie and it looks as if you were going to get it one way or another with all the offers of help.

A these reviews of these new cookbooks and I don't have any of them. I'm trying so hard to be good and not buy anymore. But you lot are making it almost impossible. (dishwasher fixed first then maybe I will just buy one more) 😉

😄 same here!  I'm trying to contain my soul in patience and be a good girl. It's a battle of the titans between priorities v cookery book addiction. Especially when I keep hearing how good they are 😉

I know through a little bird that at least 2 of the recent independent tm books are planned as ebooks, so I'm trying to hold out for those.
As my picture shows, I've suddenly become younger :-)  DD was of the opinion that her picture should be here, not mine!
