As our wholesale action figures division at Rock-n-Roll-Action-Figures.com continues to grow, we have gotten a lot of positive feedback from our Australian action figure retailers. Many Australian action figure retailers, Australian action figure E-bay sellers, and Australian record shops have realized that utilizing an Australian action figure distributor may not always be as cost effective as they initially thought. Due to the lack of Australian action figure manufacturers and to the geographic isolation of Australia, nearly all the action figures retailed in Australia come from outside distribution. Unlike in the United States, where many action figure companies are based, Australian wholesale action figure customers are forced to purchase from distribution companies versus buying directly from the brand. Since these Australian action figure distribution companies are responsible for the additional costs of shipment and Australian customs duties, these costs are passed along to the Australian action figure retailer. Our Australian wholesale action figure customers have been commenting to us that they are able to purchase wholesale action figures from us at Rock-n-Roll-Action-Figures.com more cost effectively than purchasing from Australian action figure distributors. Even with the additional shipping costs, our wholesale action figure prices are very competitive. "The weakened United States dollar is helping to make us a great option for retailers looking for an Australian action figure wholesaler" comments Josh Lundorff, the owner of Rock-n-Roll-Action-Figures.com. The Australian dollar is stronger than it has been in decades when compared to the U.S. dollar, so Australian action figure retailers looking for a wholesale action figure distributor are able to get more action figure for their buck. Adding to the success of our Australian wholesale action figure customers is the fact that the average cost of our collectible movie and music action figures retail for approximately 33% higher prices in Australia than in the United States. This approximation includes a currency correction for the differing values of the U.S. and Australian dollar, so it is a real differential that Australian wholesale action figure customers can count on to get the margins they need to succeed.

To help Australian retail stores looking for wholesale record shop merchandise or wholesale action figures, we have familiarized ourselves with Australian import tax laws. We follow strict guidelines to do everything we can to get parcels through Australian customs quickly and cost effectively. Although we would never fraudulently submit customs information or costs on our Australian wholesale action figure shipments, there are certain rules that can be followed to substantially reduce the chance that a parcel will be stopped by Australian customs agents. In the end, this means that we can actually beat wholesale action figure prices of Australian wholesale action figure distributors! Check out what some of our Australian wholesale action figure customers are saying about us...

"Thanks for all your help with the customs issues. The figures look great and we're excited about our next order." - An Australian record store owner

"I never doubted you guys for a second! I will contact you when the parcel arrives.
Again, I thank you for your professionalism and look forward to a great working relationship." - An Australian E-bay seller and Elvis Presley fanatic
