A question for Australian - Who imports games from Amazon?

This question goes out to my fellow Australians, and sure, why not, New Zealanders.  Do you use Amazon to import games?  If you do, tell me all about it.  I normally use playasia and dvdboxoffice, but Amazon has some decent specials.  I really like the look of Fire Emblem DS for $18 (    Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon  ) and the postage seems okay.  Educate me, tell me if there are any issues, such as customs (the other 2 bypass customs and use regular post). 
 
Thanks in advance for any info and advice.

I was living in Aus for .5 years and just arrived back in the US a month ago.
While there, I always bought through either digital distribution with access to US deals/prices(I had a US credit card);
Or through visiting family members importing the game for me. Though, I never had a game imported through mail.
 
I think the prices are ridiculous for retail games, i.e. the conversion of $US does not equate with the store price for games.

Fucking take care of Michael Atkins and get your MA 18+ rating already then you guys won't have to import your games. I can't believe this is the same country that gave us Wolf Creek. That movie signal handedly made sure that if I ever plan on going hiking in the australian outback then I would do so with a tank.

I was fairly certain that the US Amazon branch, much like the others, doesn't export games outside its territory because of licensing issues involving console manufacturers, and lo and behold, right there on that very Fire Emblem page: "Shipping: Currently, item can be shipped only within the U.S. and to APO/FPO addresses." And if the used marketplace on there is anything like my experiences with Amazon Japan, those are also off limits without going through some really, really obtuse hoops. I will state for the record that a lot of other non-game items can be imported directly from them, though. Just be prepared to have fun with their shipping prices.

" @oldschool: Yeah, it's weird economic stuff at work there that I don't completely understand myself. If Amazon were to try doing that, we'd probably have another Lik-Sang on our hands to some extent or other, if anybody still remembers that lovely place. "
