Thanks useful information: 
I have bought two items from DWI.
BUT - My experience with the Company or my lack of experience with the Company, wouldn't have changed my answer and had absolutely no bearing on what I wrote.
Neither does any others' experiences with the company have any bearing on my answer, as I indicated.
The reasons are:
Neither I, (nor any other customer of the Company) have absolute control in the situation and my answer was predicated on variables which would be out of my control.
Hence the question the OP posed is an evaluation of the "odds" -as I colloquially wrote.
And IMO the odds in this case are: not favourable, which is also what I wrote.
As this discussion seems now to require even more detailed notation of my thinking and my rationale:
The one point I did not previously make, is that it is quite specific that no matter what experiences I or anyone has already had with the Company; the Company does have control of the situation pursuant to the Company’s Position in regard to Australian GST and or other duties and taxes, and this position is clearly outlined in the Company’s Policy of TERMS and CONDITIONS.
