Two new methods of ordering gears from Hong Kong Supplies
Posted: Wed Dec 15, 2004 3:58 pmHi All,
I have finalized the ordering system with Poon from Hong Kong Supplies last week,
I'm happy to serve all members in this community with all of your requirements and needs of your growing photographic gears in the near future. Due to the nature of my business, I can integrate these transactions with my daily job but I'm not going to take any risk of mucking around with other authorities such as Australian Customs Services and Australian Taxation Office.
From January 05, I have two methods of orders for all gear from Hong Kong Supplies, our preferred supplier.
Method 1:
Under this method of ordering you will be issued a TAX INVOICE from DANCOM ELECTRONICS PTY LTD with its ABN, and including GST. This will be of benefit for members who wish to claim back GST portions of their purchases for their business via BAS or for any members who are going to travel to overseas and are looking for the GST Refunds from TRS at the International Airport.
This method of ordering is guaranteed to be GST trouble free with Customs and other issues, because Dancom will pay GST and other Customs fees at the point of entry.
And your order will be shipped from my base.
Your payment will need to be deposited to DANCOM ELECTRONICS PTY LTD bank account.
If payment made by Mastercard/ Visa or AMEX, there's 4% charge will be applied on the total amount of money of the Tax Invoice.
The advantage points are:
- You have the TAX INVOICE with serial number for insurance and other purposes.
- You can claim your GST input thru BAS or TRS.
- Saves you the potential trouble of dealing with Australian Customs
Services
Method 2:
This way orders will be placed directly through Hong Kong Supplies via me or direct to them with the EFT of your payment into their local bank account. Your order will be shipped direct from Hong Kong by FedEx, UPS or EMS.
This method of ordering may help you to save any portion of GST that may be applied to your imported purchase. Depending upon the declared value of the goods, and/or the whims of the customs agents processing the package, GST may or may not be applied to the package upon arrival in Australia. If Customs decide to apply GST to the transaction, then it's your responsibility to arrange settlement with them. Recent experience is such that very few transactions appear to have attracted any GST.
Please note that this ordering method won't come with any Dancom invoice; this is quite different from Method 1.
The advantage points are:
- Saves you money with NO GST PAID if you're lucky.
Pricing and warranty for both methods are the same:
Ex: A SB-800 Flash is AU$480.00
Method 1: AU$480.00 + $48.00 (GST) = AU$528.00
Method 2: AU$480.00 + NO GST = AU$480.00 PS: New message from Mr Poon Hong Kong Supplies, he asked me to add more info about paying him thru Paypal:

Yes, please add paypal terms to method two:
Members can pay by paypal to Poon's paypal account(paypal ID: sales@hksupplies.com), as Poon's offer is based on bank wire and not further charge, paypal will need to add 3.5% to purchasing price, also Paypal will accept only US$ and need to switch from AU$ to US$.
Best regards Poon
