    Default Where can I get a/mkt Oil Drain Plugs in Australia?

    I would like to fit dimple or Gold plugs to my 2017F3T.
    The Lamonster price of around AU$30 is reasonable, but AU$69 for postage !!
    Such a small light package surely can't cost that for postage.
    Anyone know where they can be bought in Oz for a sensible price?

    Yea, sorry Larry, but Martin the vlogger is even closer to EXACTLY the opposite side of the World to Australia than the US is!

    He is in Europe, which is about 4,900 odd miles just across the little ocean called the Atlantic from you over there in the US, ie less than a day's flight away; while we are about 9,800 odd miles away from you & 8,700 odd miles from him in Europe, over here on that big island in the Pacific... .

    You must know Australia, it's the big island that's also a Continent, AND a Nation and it's almost a whole day and the next night's flight away from him in Europe!

    Just Sayin!

    Ron - USPS " priority mailing boxes ( 3 sizes ) can be used for International mail as well Domestic .... I think the small box charge is $ 8 or $9..... There is a weight limit of 10lbs. for the smallest size ...... Mike

    Not a problem. No worries. The main thing is you got what you needed.

    True, you can use these options. But they are not a good way to go for International shipping. The cost is pretty high. This is the current, discounted pricing schedule through Stamps.com. Shipping the same package by going to the USPS will cost a fair amount more, in most cases.

    Shipping has gone through the roof since fuel prices increased. All of it, of course, passed on the the end user. As always, you have to click on the picture to see it.
