    So I got myself a credit card and decided to look at some of the Rockets gear at the shop on NBA.com.

    I decided to buy this: http://store.nba.com/product/index....cp=1421542.2098374&view=all&parentPage=family


    A bit of new school and old school right?

    So it costs US$20 and thats still only AU$22 in Australian money. So I fill out the order, do the signing up and everything.

    Then it gets to the final total.....

    Just for this one AU$22 item it was going to cost AU$51 postage! What the hell!

    Yes I live in Sydney Australia, but short of Yao hand delivering the bloody thing, I cant for the life of me see any reason why postage of something so small should cost so damn much!

    I canceled the order and was very disappointed.


    Anyway thats my rant! :D

    According to Fed Ex, shipping a 1 lb package from Houston to Sydney will run you about $80 US.
