Souvenirs / Shopping: GST refund. You have to shop...

  • GST refund. You have to shop at least AUD 300 in the same store, before you can make any claims. You are required to take some of the stuff with you as hand carry into the plane to show proof of export. The GST refund booth in Sydney is immediately after they scan your bags on the left side. You need to be more than 1/2 hour before your flight departure to process it - others wise they will turn you down. they pay cash for under AUD200 claims, and if more they will credit your credit card account - or if you are travelling with company, you can split it into two passport. it is worth making the GST claim - it took me only less than 10 minutes...and they were extremely friendly and helpful.

  • Stay away from the shopping arcades with their 'souveniers' none - very few if any - are made in Australia, they all come from the other places.

    Souvenirs / Shopping: Shopping at the Dutyfree shops are not cheap..

  • .. after all! We went to one of the Dutyfree shops, to buy a laptop backpack. The assistance claimed that the shop gave the best bargain in town. The tag price was AUD$120, good quality. We didnt buy immediately, told him that we just wanted to go for more shopping, and in mind, we would return to get the bag! Guess what! Next door selling bag/luggages as well, having an Easter sale, selling the same bag for AUD$90.... so, now we know!

    Souvenirs / Shopping: Souvaneirs.

  • Don't buy souvaneirs in the bigger shops or whilst on trips.

    There are plenty of little shops for you to get some good souvaneirs from, ask someone local for such shops.
