Well 12 bucks isn't bad. I'm all about a clean looking install. I just wish it came more like a normal weatherproof box where it didn't have the fitting on it and fitted a flush plug. Most of my installs I bring the wire in the back of the box.

Thanks man.
But trust me the prices charged over here are so inflated that it would take a massive shipping bill to trump them.
I will have a look and let you know, but it great to see someone not out to make a killing and just a decent profit.

Purely practically and economically speaking. If you aren't used to ordering international and haven't run into the extra taxes.
Check for local "duty & import fees" and factor those in as a possible extra cost, besides shipping and insurance.
Last time I shipped a several hundred dollar item as a birthday GIFT (and it truthfully was a birthday gift; a customized MINT electronics item in custom packaging (so not brand new in sealed retail box packaging sent as retail or commercial shipment)) to Europe insured with 3 day air; clearly marked as GIFT, proper value declared (if not properly declared word has it they can confiscate it) it was > $100 shipping + insurance. Figured that was worth it for timely delivery and peace of mind. It travelled really fast across the pond and then got stuck in a national "customs clearance" center for over a week. After clearing the recipient got a note in the mailbox (we're now at two weeks vs 3-day) to go pick up the item at the post office and surprise surprise an extra >$100 of fees assessed on the value of the item AND combined shipping + insurance cost. Looked like it had been inspected. No consideration given to the fact it was truthfully a gift.
Anyway. Just sharing that as a personal anecdote from my last international shipping adventure. And during some research I noticed many people who were making a first time order were unaware of "customs clearance" and got surprise import duty whatever fees levied on something they ordered from outside of the EU. Whether it was a $10 or $25 thing or $500. Some places now have $0 exception. No more waiver for 15-25-100 nor gifts.
Not to prevent you from ordering international from a great US seller.
