It’s time to start doing your christmas shopping for toys again but with a little planning you can save massively by not just shopping online but shopping online overseas.
Australian online toy stores still have to pay huge wholesale costs like their bricks and mortar competitors and thus their savings are not as good as they could be. In contrast when shopping at overseas toy stores you can often import toys for a fraction of the price of buying it locally.
Using Importusa.com.au you can shop for toys at Amazon.com that can be shipped here to Australia from the worlds largest online store.
So How Much Can You Save Buying Toys Online
Here is a collection of the different toys purchased over recent weeks through this site complete with the price paid in US Dollars at that time. In many cases the toys have been purchased by multiple people at the same price.
Even though many of these items cannot be bought here in Australia many of them can be. On a handful of toys across different price ranges I have grabbed the best price (click to visit links) I could find in an Australian online toy store to give you a good comparison and an idea of just how much you can save.
Just remember that many bricks and mortars stores here in Australia will be even higher.
