Thanks for that threedogs, been chasing one myself for a while. $10.95 for postage is a bit steep though.

How is $10.95 steep? It cost that to send something in a 500G post bag registered with signature on delivery. BTW, what series GU? I think that one TD has shown is of a real late GU. I haven't seen a cap like that for a GU.
They look like this...

Compared to the Handbrake pads that I bought last week that only cost $6:95 in postage, a plastic cap that weighs about 100 grams costing nearly $11 sounds steep.

Yeah you are right, they are different. Thanks for picking that up.

Its because they wash some of the postage cost into the of the item price. Its done to attract more attention to buyers. We do it all the time. It doesn't matter what it weighs. Its the size. The smallest sized bag they do is up to 500g and the $11 is around the cost for this, give or take a few cents. boxing this up and sending it not in a bag will cost the same as the bag, or more.
