With the Australian Dollar almost at par with the US Dollar, Aussie shoppers have been having a field day shopping online, especially at US stores because it's almost the same as shopping in Australia but with a wider variety of goods to choose from.
Some retailers may offer free shipping, even though international, and when shopping with discount coupons or promotional codes, shopping at US stores could even be cheaper than shopping at a local store. Of course, Australian shoppers will have to be patient and wait for packages to be delivered, which may take weeks, if the packages are really shipped from the US and not from Hong Kong or maybe even China.
It's too bad that Australian etailers have not really catch on to online trading earlier and have missed the opportunities to sell to US shoppers when their currency was a lot stronger than the Australian Dollar.
