ANy issues importing this router into Australia?

Post by Coder56 »

Hi,
I'm thinking of buying this router however I want to know if anyone has had problems importing the router through customs into australia? This product is shipped from the USA right? Any extra charges like tax once it enters australia?

If it doens't work (not compatible on my network), can I resend the router back and get my money back?

I don't think there will be any problems with the Australia custom on this..

Unless the product cost >$1000 which it won't. You won't have any extra charge from Australia custom.

I imagine it will cost you too much to sent it back and the shipping fee is probably not refundable.

The alternative is to buy a gargoyle compatible router on ebay and flash it to gargoyle yourself ;)

Or check if any of the routers you currently own is compatible with OpenWRT which you can flash it directly to gargoyle yourself.

This will probably be cheaper than buying from US and pay x amount of shipping fees.

I might be able to supply our own router with gargoyle installed from Australia sometime later if you need.

PM me if you need to buy Gargoyle router in Australia/NZ, willing to pay me to help you on your Gargoyle configurations or build custom configured ROM with pre-installed app or try to fix your bricked router. Yes, I am looking for job/work.
