26th August, Australia Post has suspended all shipping of goods to the USA. This is due to Tariff changes on low value imports from the 29th of August. Due to the compliance costs to implement Tariff collection in the checkout of the website and monthly charges from a customs broker, I expect that we will no longer be able to sell goods into the US.

International post guide Before you send to United States from Australia, check our destination guide for any postal restrictions or special documentation requirements. Use our international postage calculator to check costs and delivery times.

There has been an ongoing issue with our email being rejected as unauthorized by the server iinet.net.au which the WIA email system uses. This means that customers that purchase using a wia.org.au email address, might not get any automated order updates or shipping information. There have also been cases where I have not been able to contact the customer as they have not included a telephone number. I would suggest that customers use a generic Yahoo or Gmail type address for online purchases, as most servers should have no issues with these.

My supplier of Micrometals products ( coloured Iron Toroids ) in the US is closing down in December. Micrometals is difficult to deal with directly, and has a minimum order quantity of 10000pcs on most product types. Major US distributors selling into Australia don’t stock them as they have not been able to strike a deal with Micrometals. With the current exchange rate and freight costs it will be prohibitive to import these products. I have just managed to get some final orders in from the supplier, and should have enough smaller Toroids for Kits well into the future. A blessing in disguise maybe as all I seem to do is pack Toroids into boxes these days. Ask anyone that knows me and how frustrated I am looking at Toroids. By the way there are a number of New Kits available including EME233 Relay, EME250 RF Attenauator, and EME257 2 way splitter Kits. https://www.minikits.com.au/new-stock
