Pat, Sue, I was pretty happy with that postal rate, I don't understand eBay's postal charging system, often for the typical HP box from USA to AUS is around USD$ 230. Can still take 3 weeks. The worst example I had was a spare part HP strap handle - the ones about 60cm long on the sides - it went from USA to Oslo! As it was not able to be delivered in Australia in Oslo (fancy that!) it was returned to USA - the eBay seller chased it down - great guy- then resent it.
