It's operated out of MiniSpares UK and they are in the process of redoing the site. As you will note not all items have descriptions. When it is finished AusDirect will be back but in the mean time use MiniSpares (not MiniManis as they are dearer due to imports taxes into US)

As David said, it was just MiniSpares UK in Oz dollars anyway. I always bought from MiniSpares.
Log onto www.minispares.com and apply the current exchange rate of around A$1 = 38UKp.

Don't forget to alllow for freight, and ALWAYS tell them to post it, or you could get hit with Customs duty, GST and UPS handling charges when it lands.. on top of the freight you already paid for. :cry:
I know this, 'coz it happened to me, on only A$350 worth of stuff.

Don't look like it from here. Their domain name for the site is up for sale. Quick someone - buy it and charge them $1M UKP for it back when they get their act together. LOL

I sent 3 emails to the webmaster about that link. As a webmaster myself I would never leave a dead link on a homepage for that long.

No reply from the tosser either......

On another note, I paid for parts from MINISPARES over a month and a half ago and I have seen NOTHING! They even sent me a postage receipt in the mail.......no ****** parts though! First and last time I buy from there! :twisted: :evil:

If you bought on their website, I'd email [email protected] if not done already. :wink:

I've had 20 lots of stuff in with no probs.

I think he may mean import taxes from the UK to the US?

or isnt that relevant?

Edit: althought the UK and US would have a FTA too wouldn't they?
