American Marine - Share Shipping

Postby CheezotheClown » Sun 25 Oct, 2020 8:44 pm

I will be placing an order with American Marine for a couple of bits. Should anyone like to piggyback the order and share the cost of shipping let me know. Whether anything will arrive in a timely manner remains open to speculation.

Otherwise is there a local supplier of American Marine Pinpoint paraphernalia? I've searched but can't find one.

Not the best time to order from US, our dollar is so weak that you end up losing money.
Their products are made close to us, if you look online you can find them cheaper and closer.

Well that's the thing, I can't find any local supplier of American Marine Inc Pinpoint products.

I found a replacement in the States for an ORP probe for the Milwaukee Instruments ORP controller I have. About A$62 plus delivery. Over here it is $145 plus GST plus shipping, so ~$175 for the same item. Might have a look at some of the OLS from Singapore but direct from the manufacturer is looking in the lead for now.

I would not throw my money to the US at the moment, I would wait till everything gets stabilized.
I find few results you would be interested in:

it takes few weeks but just like coming from the US.
Our dollar needs to pick up, till then I invest in the people who invest in Australia.
