I'm in England and my daughter lives in Sydney. I want to get her a tablet for Christmas but I'm unsure where to shop online. I want somewhere that is reliable and trustworthy and have seen a couple of websites but I'm not sure how good they are.
Can anyone recommend a shop or online store to purchase electronics in Sydney or elsewhere in Aus, she's after a Samsung tablet if it makes any difference.
Thanks for any help.

I've been looking online and can buy direct from Samsung.aus, the problem is that there doesn't seem to be any of the Model I want in the country at the moment.

Try some of the big electronic store in Aus like: Harvey Norman, Dick Smith and The Good Guys. You should be able to buy online and get it delivered or you can paid for it and get her to pick it up from a store near here.

You could try some of the major makers sites like Lenovo.com.au as well as Samsung etc.

These are one of the major telecommunications companies. No idea if they are cheap or not but they do seem to get the newer stuff earlier.

Thanks for the replies, Samsung seem to have the one she fancys in stock and on 1 or 7 day delivery so I'll go with them providing they'll accept my credit card or PayPal account. I can't put a UK address in for billing. only an Australian one so I don't know if the bank or PayPal will block it or not.

I got my Galaxy S5 from Kogan, I suspect that they could see the colour of my plastic again in the not too distant future

Check out Ozbargains too for discounts and specials here in Oz.

Just got a great deal on a Sammy Galaxy 4 from The Good Guys.

In my experience I have found some of the smaller stores will not accept international payments but I would have thought the big 3 here would.

JI've bought from Harvey Norman and JB HiFi and although neither reply to online enquiries both items are now out for delivery. Kogan didn't have what I wanted although my wife used them earlier this year. I think we've been spoilt here in the UK by the likes of Amazon and other online retailers that keep you informed all the way and are very quick at processing orders.
Thanks for all the help.
Edited Monday night UK and both items are out for delivery today, Tuesday Australian time so that's sorted.
