DIY
Kits from Hong Kong
Passing
of Peter Crowcroft, founder of DIY Electronics.
Important:
Please
note that we have no control over the Hong Kong Post Office or any other
Post Office, and your Kit order may take some time to get to you.
In most cases, the times below are correct, but please don't contact us
unless 3 weeks have passed since you placed your order.

Shipping
Costs
All
DIY-Kits products are shipped by Air Mail from Hong Kong and the cost
of shipping is included in the quoted prices. If you are only
purchasing a Kit, then please select the "Free Shipping" option when asked
for Shipping Type on Checkout.
If
you are purchasing other goods at the same time, you may need to check
whether postage is included in the cost of the other product, or whether
postal charges will need to be added for the additional purchases.
Courier
and Express Postal Options
ECI
International Courier and other Express Post or Courier options are not
available for these products.
Expected
Delivery Times
Wherever
practicable, all orders sent from Hong Kong are shipped on the next business
day following receipt of the order.
Unfortunately,
delivery times for orders shipped from Hong Kong are erratic and we are
unable to provide an accurate estimate of expected arrival times.
As a (rough) guide, if you are in Hong Kong delivery may take 1-2 days,
Australia 5-8 days, USA 10-14 days, South Africa could be 3-5 weeks, and
some South American countries including Chile could be 6 weeks.
Order
Status and Tracking Numbers
You
will be advised by email as soon as your order is processed by Dontronics
staff and has been sent to Hong Kong for despatch.
All
DIY-Kits are sent by standard Air Mail through the Postal system, so once
the order is posted there is no method of tracking the progress of the
package and there is no Tracking Number.
GST
for residents of Australia
As
these products are manufactured and shipped from Hong Kong, GST is not
payable by residents of Australia.
Australian
Taxation Office Ruling:
Goods
purchased from Dontronics and delivered via a non-Australian company makes
the customer the importer, and as such the customer is making a taxable
importation. The purchase may remain GST-free however, under the
insubstantial value provisions.
Goods
of insubstantial value are goods on which Customs Duty and Taxes come to
$50 or less, and which have a customs value of:
less
than $1000 (for goods imported by post); or
less
than $250 (by other means).
From our
own experience, 95% of low value imports (less than $1000 by post) do not
attract any additional import fees into Australia.
