Gear Store Information & USD/AUD Pricing
At Mee Loft, we try to keep pricing as clear as possible, especially for imported skydiving equipment where exchange rates can move from day to day.
Most items in the Mee Loft gear store are priced in Australian Dollars and shown as AUD. Some larger imported items, including many new containers and rig packages, are based on manufacturer pricing in USD [United States dollars].
This can make price comparisons a little messy.
Overseas stores often show prices in USD before sales tax, credit card fees, international freight, import costs, bank or card currency-conversion fees, and Australian GST [Goods and Services Tax]. In Australia, advertised retail prices are generally shown in AUD [Australian dollars] including GST where applicable.
That means an overseas USD price can look cheaper at first glance, but once freight, fees, GST and exchange rates are included, the real landed cost into Australia may be similar — or sometimes even higher.
For imported gear, our quotes are designed to show the real cost clearly before you commit. Where relevant, we include or clearly identify exchange-rate assumptions, factory freight, import duty, customs charges, GST, and any other costs associated with getting the gear into Australia.
We review our AUD prices for imported products regularly based on exchange-rate movement and supplier pricing.
For major items such as new rigs, containers, and custom packages, final pricing is provided by quote. This lets us account for current exchange rates, factory options, freight, duties, GST, and availability at the time of order.
Mee Loft Assurance
If the exchange rate improves in the customer’s favour within the valid quote period, and the order is paid in full upfront, we will place the order using the better rate where possible.
Exchange rates move slightly from day to day. For quoted items, we lock in the applicable rate when you accept your written Mee Loft quote.
Our aim is simple: clear pricing, no hidden surprises, and no “cheap online price” that turns into a more expensive landed cost later.
