Just introducing myself.
Hello.
I'm really excited to be part of the community.
I'm looking to buy a KBT pure 60% soon hopefully if I can find somewhere that ships to Australia for a relatively good price.

Welcome to Geekhack!

Good luck finding somewhere that will ship a keyboard to Australia cheaply - they are usually around $60-$70 from the US.

Console yourself with the fact that PCCG has most of the Ducky Shine IIs in stock and ships only to Australia  :p

Does anyone know which is the best forum to post on in regards to buying a KBT pure that could be shipped to Australia.
I bought one on eBay but the seller claims they can't access their Paypal account so now I've lost 130 bucks (well until I can get a charge back from my credit card company(worst eBay experience ever)).
Thank in advance,
corradods.

Classifieds?  Although you cannot start a new WTB thread until you have 60 posts, you can express an interest in an existing thread if you find one where someone is selling a KBT Pure.

Welcome to the board!!

The US Postal Service has the large Priority Mail flat rate "game board box" (the usual large flat rate box is too square) that will go anywhere in the world for $58 (and it will hold 2 Model Ms if need be!).

For getting a full-size keyboard to Oz, that is about the best you can do.

A small, light board, in a not-too-bulky box, might go for $40, but that is about it. I have tried to find a better way, with no success.

Some people on this board have hinted that FedEx has some sort of "semi-priority" package that will go anywhere for $40-50, but I have never seen it, and suspect that may be some private proprietary commercial deal.

Good luck!
