sending gifts to australia

Hi to everyone,
I'm a new member and would like to know if anyone can help me with websites who offer free worldwide postage. I normally send cd's,books and dvd's to my daughter and son in law in Australia through cd wow but I am wondering if any money saving experts out there know of a better and cheaper option.:confused:

    I send a lot to Australia throughout the year and I haven't found a free postage one unless within Australia so if you do find one let me know. Quite often the best way is to buy it free postage in the UK and post it yourself but the problem you'll have now is lack of time to send to Oz. Good luck.

    Thinking about it I would certainly look at some of the Australia based stores and order like that. Get them to send directly to your daughter rather than yourself.

    If you go on the gagets part of CD-wow's website (which is powered by Firebox) and buy something from there you can get it posted to Oz for free.
    The range is quite restricted but postage is free....

  • My sister is in New Zealand and I used to send gifts to her from here. One year it cost me £34 in postage which was nearly more than the gifts were worth. I now source all my gifts from within NZ as there are many excellent sites there. The service I have had from the ones I have used has been second to none, they cannot be more helpful. This is by far the cheapest way to do it for me.

    both these are aussies shopping sites, not super cheap or anything but with the pounds so strong against the dollar, probably worthwhile.
