Knowing that returning items from overseas is unlikely in most cases, some suppliers are known to do this. It is the risk we take and we have to accept.

I have an Astro-buddy that lives in Phoenix. He buys all my bits for me locally & then sends them over. So never any issue of not getting what I pay for, & the shipping issues are taken care of.
This also works well for items that OS retailers won't sell into Oz.
On the question of OPT Preferred Customer, prior to using the 'Buddy System' I made a number of purchases from OPT.
After the 3rd purchase I was offered a Preferred Customer discount card, which I still heve.
My buddy also has one so I don't miss out on the discount when buying through him, if he chooses to buy my item from OPT.
