Australia proxies

Australian shops price in Australian dollars, include GST in the shelf price and ship from Australian warehouses. From a server in Europe or the US you often get an international page, priced for somewhere else.

Which line

Buying for Australia

Mo’s pick for Australia

Start on Datacenter.

What matters most here is being in Australia at all, so the shop serves you the Australian page rather than the international one. Price checks spread over a few retailers are light work, and at that pace most shop pages do not look at what kind of address you are on, so a datacenter IP, labelled honestly as a server, does it. Move Gumtree watchers to ISP.

ISP and datacenter cost the same per IP right now, so the choice comes down to whether the site cares what kind of address you are on.

Why Australia

What people check from here

Australian checks are mostly about price and stock: an electronics price watched ahead of a sale, the same item across the local chains, or whether a product is actually sold in Australia or only shipped in at a markup. A request from Frankfurt to a shop in Sydney shows you the international version. An Australian exit changes which page the shop serves you, not the distance: a scraper running in Europe still sends every request to Australia and back.

Australia questions

Why is my scraper so slow against Australian sites?

Usually distance, not the proxy line. Every request travels from your scraper to the exit, on to the site and back the same way, so a scraper in Europe crosses the planet twice per request whichever exit it uses. An Australian exit gets you the Australian page; for speed, run the scraper itself in or near Australia.

Does an Australian IP show GST-inclusive prices?

Australian retailers show prices with GST included whatever your IP. International stores are the ones that change: from an Australian address they usually show AUD with GST, from abroad another currency without it.

Ordering, stock and metering work the same in every country: see the locations page.
