maxybond Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Shipping to Oz from UK is relatively inexpensive. Items over a certain size and individual weight are an issue with Airmail (2kg weight limit) so sometimes items have to be opened and split into multiple parcels. We have Vallejo in stock all the time and the shipping to oz is cheap. You might want to take a look at our eBay store though as it works on a different model and the shipping worldwide is cheaper (max £1.50, mostly free if you spend over £10) So Wayland Games is shipping to Australia atm? or is that currently slightly outdated? cause i was just reading there statement on one of their items and it says they cant :S which makes me sad..

Spazzola Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 To my knowledge Wayland still ships to Australia, just not GW stuff. Makes me wish I had continued with the hobby a few years ago before this ridiculous ban. Have any other decent Australia-accessible retailers come to anyone's attention? I'm planning to give Black Cultist a go, will be sure to have a little whinge if something goes wrong :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/173184-what-is-the-best-online-store-for-australians/page/4/#findComment-3000901 Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxybond Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 (edited) Sorry for resurrecting this old and rightfully dead thread yet again but!! Below is a list of the basic army i was thinking about getting.. and a list of prices from the websites. i know we can't get them shipped directly to AUS but as we have family and friends in the US and UK.. what my brother did was buy the stuff from Maelstrom games and then have a courier pick them up from there place and ship them back to Aus. i was thinking about doing the same thing.. and was wondering which store i should use.. having read alot of reviews saying Wayland was one of the best. And it seems it would be cheaper then getting them in from GW or some of the other Aussie Stores (depending on the price of shipping) Chaplin Furioso Dreadnought 20 Man Assault Marines 10 Man Death Company Storm Raven Games Workshop -$536.00 AUD AUS Wayland Games - $239.36 AUD UK Maelstrom Games -$278.62 USD UK Gaming Dragon - $432.10 AUD AUS Alpha Hobbies - $433.60 AUD AUS Mini War Gaming -$286.49 USD USA (Sale ~$380) Games Empire - $393.20 AUD AUS GCubed - $542.00 AUD AUS Wargame Store - $271.22 AUD UK Total War Gamer -$261.30 AUD UK Phoenix Forge - $433.60 AUD AUS Combat Company -$382.92 AUD AUS (No Chaplin B)) Milsims Games - $406.50 AUD AUS Darksphere - $225.87 AUD UK on a side note Screw You Games Workshop! ;) Edited February 27, 2012 by maxybond Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/173184-what-is-the-best-online-store-for-australians/page/4/#findComment-3002371 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gop Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 We're so ripped off in Oz. I mostly buy 2nd hand now and pay for the odd mini that I can't source. I refuse to be gouged when the other half of the world are treated differently. *$%@ you GW. Now chasing off more customers than ever.

Spazzola Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) please be sure to let us know how well it goes. Cost, delivery and all that! :) Finally got around to placing my order with Black Cultist on 02/03, it was dispatched on 08/03 and I got it today (13/03). For both the 5th Edition Rulebook and C:SM I ended up paying $118.25, including the $5 postage (10% GST included in the total). BC certainly don't lie when they boast about having 25% off the RRP. The books are in perfect condition and arrived in thick and well taped packaging. My next order should include a Tactical Squad, Scout Squad, Scout Sniper Squad and a Razorback. I'll post as to the condition and service once that order is done and received. The only fault I have noticed with them at present is a lack of Independent Characters; I'm having to get my PA Librarian and (eventually) Vulkan through GW themselves. BC do offer some characters though, such as the TDA Librarian. Sorry for resurrecting this old and rightfully dead thread yet again but!! . I have to disagree with the "rightfully dead" part - us Australian 40k fans need this thread more than ever. Unless we have family overseas, we need every little bargain we can get. Geez, I feel like I'm on Today Tonight spruiking their new 'supermarket price check'. ;) We're so ripped off in Oz. I've gone from spending most of my disposable income on video gaming to Games-Workshop. Just can't catch a break in this country B) (of course, my choice has a lot to be desired in that department :P ) Edited March 13, 2012 by Spazzola Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/173184-what-is-the-best-online-store-for-australians/page/4/#findComment-3014453 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spore Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 (edited) All is not lost! The simplest way around the ludicrous GW shipping ban is a parcel forwarding service. Most offer to combine all your parcels into one to save shipping costs. Basically you can shop at multiple stores to find the best price and then have them sent to the parcel forwarding company where they box them all up and send them out to you. http://www.my-uk-mail.co.uk/ http://www.skypax.com/ There are plenty in the USA as well.

Spazzola Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Thanks for that, Spore. I'll definately have to look into that. As for Black Cultist, apparently GW have hit the site with higher costs. Quoted straight from their latest Facebook post: Important Announcement - Price Rise Imminent. As you may or may not be aware, as of today GW now charges me even more for their products... This will mean I will have to reduce the level of Discount I can offer you all. I will be maintaining 25% off for the rest of March and it will be reduced from the first of April. The Discount will change to somewhere between 20 and 24% off RRP. I will let you know what it will move to as soon as I can finishing crunching numbers. Obviously the more volume of products I can sell the bigger the discount I can offer. Spread the word, let more people know about Black Cultist and I can try and keep the prices as low as possible.

Spore Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 http://www.shipito.com/ I've used these guys before for the USA only not for GW products. Very simple process, I think it cost 9 bucks plus shipping for my items. The shipping costs are fairly standard really. All in all I found it to be just the same as all my other overseas purchases. I've not had any dealings with the company's I mentioned before for shopping in the UK, however that will change in the coming months I'll be sure to let you all know how it goes.

Cpt. Saul Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I use BitzBarn from the USA. Exceptionally well priced. Getting a Razorback to Australia will cost ~$32.30 - the cheapest I have found easily accessible for Aussies.

Golf33 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 If you send them an email or FaceBook message, Black Cultist can get in stuff that's not listed on their website. The discount will be lower though as they have to pay more to get the stuff in. Incidentally the bloke who runs BC also runs the Canberra Good Games store, which is a great place to play if you live in the ACT or nearby.

Brother_Angelus Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 It sounds like I need to stock up before emigrating in January! I'll be living in Canberra, so is the GW any good for games, or are there local clubs which are better?

I'll be living in Canberra, so is the GW any good for games, or are there local clubs which are better? On a better-late-than-never note, there are a couple of good gaming clubs in Canberra. Good Games Canberra had plenty of nice tables and good staff, and run pretty regular gaming days in a number of systems. Look them up on Facebook. There is also a club at the Australian National University, open to non-students as well as students. Look for ANU Wargaming Society.

Golf33 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Any good online places to get Vallejo Model Air paints? Black Cultist only carry GW's paint ranges, and I'm trying to get the hang of airbrushing so I want to remove paint consistency as a variable while I learn.

Journeyman Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 So I had a look at some of the sites mentioned here and found this: "Maelstrom Games Ltd. has ceased trading and will enter liquidation at some point over the next few months." Maelstrom crashed Will check out some of the US sites.

The Architect Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 One of the best is Aliexpress.com , they have ultra cheep Warhammer products e.g. Eldar Guardians on GW Website: $55.00.
