Purchasing on ProenzaSchouler.com goes through International Checkout and they adds about $240 in shipping and handling. 20% toll will also be added here on arrival. It'll be total $2200

If you really want to see some horrifying prices, have a look at this!! This is what us Australians are expected to pay for PS bags!! The medium is more expensive than the US price for the large!!!

Please bear in mind that the Australian Dollar and US Dollar are on par at the moment (with the AUD even being slightly favourable by a few cents!!!).
This is why I buy all nearly all my bags from the US - even with shipping and customs I can get way better deals than these. And the Australian Government and Retailers are complaining about losing business with too many people shopping on-line now! Do they ever stop to consider the amazing price differences!!
Unfortunately I can't shop anywhere that charges in GB Pounds or Euros, because those exchange rates suck!!
