I wouldn't be inclined to use Aussie Imports based solely on their response to a valid question. DHL or Fedex have internal customs brokers that make the process very simple at not a significant premium.

Hi Trent,
Another thing to consider is a virtual mailbox/freight consolidator.
As you progress there will always be many little parts or tools required.
Individually the freight really adds up. I now buy whatever I need when I think about it and have it shipped to Nevada. When I get to the point where I desperately need something that?s in my Nevada mailbox I have them unpack it all, consolidate and ship. It?s very convenient. Other members of my household get some utility out of it too.
I use www.shipito.com but there are plenty of similar services.
Cheers
Richard

Interesting Richard - I?ve been told about these services a couple of times, but to be honest they always seem pretty dodgy when I look online. Interesting to hear of someone with first hand experience.
