I have been keeping an eye out for 2gb M2 memory sticks - they've recently popped up on mobymemory.com. I sent them an email asking about shipping but the Royal Mail Air sure doesn't come to Australia and the hopeless fools refuse to use Royal Mail Airmail 
Does anyone know a company who will ship the 2gb sandisk M2 to Australia selling at a similar price to mobymemory (about 45quid)? Expansys are the only other ones I've found and they're charging a bit more, about 55quid I think it was.... which as I'm sure you're all aware translates to a difference of about three million Australian dollars... 
Thanks!

might be worth a chat to Organiser World to see when they expect them
btw, if you order from Expansys UK you can deduct the 17.5% VAT so it might not be as expensive as you think
otherwise, I just got back to UK from Sydney this morning but I'll be home again on 2nd March and I can bring some and post locally as I'm sure you'll not be the only one wanting these, and I can also get the VAT back when leaving Europe which keeps the cost down

That'd be a really good idea - the 2gb cards are about $150 in stores here in Aus, that's if you can find one... they might be more common by then but still, you'd probably offload a lot of them.
I'd like mine earlier than that though, hoping to get it in the next couple of weeks.
Re: the VAT, would that mean that I'd deduct the VAT from the ~45quid price at mobymemory as well? That'd make it super cheap! |

yeah, anyone sending out of EU should deduct the VAT but just remember that you might get hit with GST as it comes into aus depending on how its been packaged/shipped
anyway, keep me in mind if I can help nearer the time

Shop around, i'm sure you'll find something. Recently an photography shop were selling Micro SD cards with a 75% reduction as a stock clearout.
Seeming as it is January, sales are on everywhere unless you don't have January sales in Australia like here in the UK.
