I was just about to pull the trigger on one of your large mold making kits but when I tried to recalculate postage to Australia I was presented with a small surprise. Namely, the fact that some of the products in the kit are considered as Dangerous Goods and therefor pose a bit of an issue when shipping.

what was it you wanted to buy and ship over?

i must say the last thing i bought from ec the service was fantastic! in some cases it came quicker than things ordered from sydney into melb...

I was trying to order the Epoxy Mould Making Kit (Large)

i'm guessing its because it would be air frieght, have you tried to source somethings locally?

No, not yet.  I liked the idea of the EC kit because I know everything works as described and I don't have to try and piece something together myself.  Not having any experience with this stuff the kit is a VERY attractive option.

there are a few places i've found here in oz , www.amcsupplies.com.au www.barnes.com.au www.dalchem.com.au there was also a company that had a big ebay store 'comp-supp' it was aafibreglass in hunter nsw, not sure if these are still in business as the ebay store is empty.

they may not have everything you want that is in the kit from ec but may have something simillar. or you could then get whats not available here from ec.

i'm originally from the uk, been here 3 years i found it difficult to track those 3 websites down and dalchem is around the corner from work lol

Hi BoostSamurai,

When the website says that shipping would be £1000 what we're trying to do is stop you from placing the order, it's not that we'd ever charge that, it just means that we pretty much can't ship something in your basket to your location. FedEx used to offer a 'Dangerous Goods' service to Australia which we used for our Australian customers. At the start of this year they cancelled that service and so unfortunately, for the time being at least, we can't ship anything containing hazardous materials (any release agents, resins, catalysts etc.) to Australia. We'll keep looking for alternative carriers and we'll keep talking with FedEx to see if the situation can be changed but for the time being, if the website throws up a £1000 shipping cost, it's basically saying that we can't ship these goods to you.

For very large orders to Australia then we can actually arrange shipping (orders over 150kgs) by using a special logistics company but shipping by air all the way to Australia, especiall when it's DG is always going to be pricey.

All the best, Matt
