Hi,

I need to order 6 or so textbooks for my massage course. Most of them my school is selling for around the $120 mark (which is cheap for them here), but i thought i would have a look on Amazon, and a lot of them i can get for around $70 US or cheaper.

The thing is its hard to find people who will ship them to Australia, so in some cases i had to select the more expensive books to do it that way.

Which made me think, maybe i should just order them all and ship to a friend in the states, and get her to forward them onto me.

But it means I end up paying for shipping twice, and have to rely on friends etc.

Has anyone done this and found out it worked out cheaper this way? How much is shipping from the states anyway?

TIA!
