I've bought stuff from ebay and ZWO overseas, ZWO is usually free postage and depending on ebay vendors average postage is between 20-80 bucks for computer accessories still cheaper than buying locally with postage included.

Considering all global supply chains issues, looks like shipping times and cost is only going to get worse for a foreseeable future.

Indeed, esp. with the China port closure just recently.

I have started to just reversing the postage locations and get a quote from OzPost, who are remarkably cheaper in some instances. Talk about some hidden costs...

S-B mount is cheap and sturdy if you want to consider getting one without slo-mo
