in response to all the ladies asking about shopaholiques service:

I can't recommend her highly enough. She was very easy to contact, and quick to reply to my emails. I was hesitant to use mail forwarding as well, but im so glad i did.
The whole process took about 14 days (from the time i sent my first message with my super long list, to when i received the package today), and in terms of money saved, was most definitely worth it! But i made quite a large order (7 piggies, 4 L/G, 4 L/S, 1 quad) so i wouldnt've bothered if i only wanted a couple of items.
The thing i liked best was the level of communication, i wasn't left sitting at my computer worrying for too long. I think I trusted her more because shopaholiques is her fulltime job so you know you won't be forgotten about.

Overall, awesome!
And CoC is awesome too!

Thanks for responding so quickly!!

It's good to know that she has a reputable service! I think I will submit my massive list to her and hope for the best lol!

In my opinion, ordering from the US really is a good idea because the australian prices are just ridiculous and a little cash on postage will not be a major problem. The only 'catch' to my great idea was that I needed to find a person that had a good reputation that was willing to do this for me for as little money as possible and I think I have found her!

once again, thanks for helping me!

well i just send her a list for 13 items and she replied back a few hours later. and said that she's gone over her limit with the mac website so shes going to bloomingdales for me.what a nice lady.and then she will send me a receipt.Honestly if all goes well i will get all my mac that way,its a massive saving and i can get the collections early.yay

I think I saw 86c to the $1 yesterday so fingers crossed its on the up.
And to think i scoffed at my mother when the Aussie dollar was around 95 and she said "Change your money now!"

Oh I hope so. I did the same, actually got a little too cocky.... stupid me.
