Hello SS. I'm in Australia and looking to make a sizeable purchase from Apmex. I'd like to hear from anyone here in Oz who has ordered from them. Was the transaction easy? Any delays at customs? Any GST incurred? Any customs or duty taxes? Anything that you have experienced would be helpful. Thanks
Better-off supporting Australian Dealers imo and the purchase will probably be a lot cheaper. If like you say, your purchase is going to be substantial, perhaps contact the dealers on this site for a quote.

APMEX only accepts international payments made via bank wire or credit card in U.S. Dollars (USD). The minimum order amount is $250 for Credit Card and $1,500 for Bank Wire. Will I have to pay duties or taxes when I receive my order? All duties and taxes must be paid by the customer on delivery. You may be subject to taxes and/or duties for your order. Please consult your local customs broker for more information on duty and tax rates. Does APMEX declare the value of the package on Customs Forms? We always declare the full value of the shipment on any customs form. There are no exceptions to this rule. What are the shipping costs for Australia? Shipping costs are $49.95 USD plus an additional $0.25 USD per troy ounce weight surcharge. http://www.apmex.com/international
If you really really need to get something from APMEX, you can try talking to some of our US-based members here to see if they can help you out. Ordering and shipping it directly to Australia will be cost-prohibitive.
