I know this thread has come up in the past, and that google searches bring up some results, though most of that info/data is out of date.
So I ask the Aussies here: where do you think that the best place to buy 40k is?
the old website I used to buy from doesn't appear to exist anymore.
I was looking at https://mperor.cc/ which seems pretty legit.

No worries.
Note for kiwis, our version is called Youshop though we now have to pay GST on what is imported.

I am not sure if the shipping rates using shopmate are worth it, I need to find a good US store to make that work.
If only they did it from the UK!

Shipping and GST effectively remove most of the savings from buying from the US via shopmate you may as well just buy local.
Emerald Hobbies based in QLD have 20% off most of the range and have $10 flat shipping Australia wide. I've used them several times and have never had a problem.

Thanks for the tip - 20%, flat shipping and supporting Queensland.... sounds like a perfect trifecta!

Great thank you!
Edit/ PS: My sister is in the UK right now, going to order a bunch of stuff from Weyland games to bring back to Australia for me! can get Genestealer Cults Broodcoven, Clamavus and Acolyte Hybrids for $120 AUD that way! Normally the Broodcoven alone costs $105 from GW in Australia!

Nice one yeah that is the other way to do it, if you have any family or friends that can buy locally in the UK it definitely helps!

I've bought from mperor.cc several times and have been happy every time. 20% discount off RRP, free shipping for orders over $80, and loyalty points that can be redeemed for further discounts. Good stuff.
They once didn't have something on their website that I wanted, so I contacted them and they added it right away.
I've heard good things about Emerald Hobbies, too, but I don't think I've used them yet.
I have also used Mighty Ape, but they're NZ-based (despite having a .com.au domain) so watch out for extra charges on your credit card. Good option for the Kiwis on here, though.

Myself, in NZ, I have used Ebay to buy some stuff. Filter it to; new in box. The trick is not to buy from the US. Delivery costs are horrendous from the US.
I looked up youshop. The delivery is similar to what I have experienced from Ebay. But I think with added GST it will be more expensive. I also don't like the idea of paying NZ sales tax (GST) on the UK sales tax (VAT). Taxing a tax is never liked (unless your the taxman).

with the free shipping over $80, mperor seem like the cheapest, thank you for letting me know they were good. I think they might be my go-to for now.

I never seem to have luck on ebay or gumtree :( (well, got a good deal once on ebay).

I've made three orders to Emerald in the past fortnight.
And two to Mperor.
I occasionally look to Games Empire for things the other two don't have.

I use tabletop empires and the combat company. But I am rarely buying just 40k stuff.

Sounding like Emerald and Mperor is the way to go based on this thread.

Another vote for Mperor. I did buy from mightyape when it was cheaper.
