Its the old Catch 22, someone wins and someone loses. I recently purchase a filter direct from the US for two reasons
a) it wasn't available from a local supplier
b) all other brands supplied locally were more expensive
Why don't local suppliers stock cheaper brands. I believe Skywatcher sell a LP filter which works and isn't expensive yet nearly it costs around $300 for any other brand from a local supplier, thats nearly half the price I paid for my ED, this just doesn't make sense to me.
I'd say go for it as long as the items insured and well packed you'll save a bundle.
