Import/Export...

Everyone here who knows someone overseas does it. I mean have visiting friends from the US bring over items for them, almost always items unavailable here in Australia.

For me, that's pretty much personal grooming products that - like everyone - I find I like but just can't seem to find the same ones over here. Well almost. You see, I like Aveda products; which are available here. Only for some reason they are 2- to 3-times as expensive in Australia as in the US despite the current exchange rate. Look at this price comparison chart:

So since I don't have an organ to spare, I have friends bring over whatever I'm out of. Each sorta like my own personal "Chanel" Corby, so-to-speak.

But at least I look my best.
