Online shopping

As the Australian Dollar gets stronger, the price of shopping on foreign websites gets cheaper - some are now even offering free delivery to Australia and some already offer prices which are more favourable than shopping at home.

The recent controversy about Myer launching a China-based website so that they can send goods back to Australian shoppers without us needing to pay GST shows what a huge issue this now is. The truth is that many Aussie stores are still not offering online shopping in a useful or professional way and are now discovering that shoppers are using foreign sites to fill the vacuum that they left.

Here is our round up of the ones that you should check out.
