When you consider the distance I dont think it's that bad. I got quoted $500 to get some recaros from QLD to Perth by road. UK rate was $800 by air. The UK seats were in better cond and by the time I factored in re-trimming costs it was cheaper buying them ex UK. They arrived in 1 week, so just as fast, if not faster than Aus road freight.
Same for my steering rack. Buying ex UK was about 1/3rd the cost of getting my old one recond here, even with postage, and it was delivered to my door.
