It's best not to use this feature. For a small thing like an eyepiece contact OPT directly and you can get Fedex postage for around 20 USD. Also if you are a member of an astronomy club and tell them you can get a discount of a few percent.
Remember that anything over 1000 AUD plus postage attracts GST of 10 % plus customs clearance of maybe 50 AUD. Under 1000 AUD and it comes straight through. I have purchased many things from OPT and find them quite reliable.
