Sounds like a crock to me. It may be a hassle for the shipper to fill out the paperwork for the two posts - maybe that's what's the real problem. Your best bet is to have the items shipped to a friend in the US and have the friend send it over to Australia - as a "gift" - They (the Aussies) may charge you excise duties if it is sent to you any other way. That may be the consideration.

any one else ever had problems buying things from another country?
