I tested OPT's shipping rates by running through a single $40 Celestron filter to see what the shipping was, it was still US$50 for 2-3 day courier, US$46 for 3-5 day courier, so that looks like the minimum cost, though the option to inquire about cheaper shipping is there.
One advantage of the UPS courier rates is that they come with full insurance, which is attractive if you are buying US$600 worth of EPs, plus the convenience of door to door delivery and hopefully more careful handling.
But still, its not cheap, and thus only worthwhile if the item is a fair bit cheaper than in Australia or you are buying multiple items.
