It sounds like Helen in typical fashion has stepped up to the plate and done her wonderful job of supplying great customer service.

Thanks!

.....So the shipper has to be aware of all this, select a shipping method, prepare paperwork, etc. To me it seems that fees for this service should be both expected and reasonable and the fact of the matter is the fees are often not related to the cost of the item.

Spot on!

Maybe we should ask "malakite" to ship us some vegemite so we can compare it to Marmite in an an appropriate taste test? Keep in mind that this would be a critical test because vegemite is difficult to acquire in the States. We would like everything on the up and up as far as customs and preferably like it shipped in a manner that permits tracking. Please attempt to do that for less than the "aussie" equivalent of $5.95.

OP, try contacting the POTN support shop (i.e. Pro Camera Gear). I ordered all my Op/Tech stuff from them.

They're a smaller outfit so they are probably more flexible with shipping. They also have an eBay store:

Please email me directly: Helen@adorama.com and I should be able to get you a USPS quote which will probably be cheaper

Thank you very much Helen. I'll be emailing shortly.
