    HZWTK - How to Buy BOSE at U.S prices

    Hi all

    I'm keen on buying a pair of Bose quietcomfort 15 noise cancelling headphones

    Is there any way of buying them at the U.S price of $300 instead of the $500 ask by the local dealers

    i have tryed amazon etc but they wont ship them to Aus

    Cheers

    HZ
    Funny enough, I was just talking to my friend about that. Our speedometer has melted and as a result it's very hard to see with any degree of accuracy exactly how fast we were going.

    use a freight forwarding company such as

    MyUS.com - Standard Landing

    shipitto.com looks as though it's a bit cheaper than MyUS.

    I've just used priceusa for a purchase.

    Awesome communication. You know exactly what is going on with their US buying partner and the purchase/sale.
    And it all worked out a bit cheaper than what I estimated.

    I wasn't chasing something cheaper than what I could get here though (so I can't compare price)... I just couldn't find what I wanted here.

    Yeah, when I used PriceUSA they were great, and let you know exactly what was going on with every step.
    I just found it worked out to be a bit more expensive and complicated than ShipItTo, who simply give you an address for you to have the goods shipped to, and charge a flat fee, rather than a percentage.

    Without wanting to sound like a hater, but head over to Headphones.com.au and check out their range of noise cancelling cans. The Sennheiser and AKG models are both lighter and better sounding products, IMO.

    Alternatively headphones.com is a store in the states I have used before (pretentious wankers canalphones groupbuy) and the service/pricing was excellent.

    I just ran a comparison and Price USA came out in front for me.

    Having two parties involved can potentially be a bit more complicated, but they've kept the whole process smooth as poo.

    I'll definitely go through them again.

    Agreed. Also worth looking at the Audio Technica ones.

    I tried several sennheiser n/c sets before my QC3's and they were utterly crap in comparison.
