Who sells Pentax SMC XL ?

I'm looking to buy a Pentax 10.5mm XL eyepiece from a vendor that will
ship internationally to Australia.

Any suggestions please?

....but they will only accept bank wire transfer
payments.

Then there's Astromart.

There are others, to be sure, and by
inputting "Pentax 10.5mm XL" into the
search engine of the venerable Google.

But becareful...their shipping and handling for international orders can be
a killer...

Too much fraud anymore by credit card. works like this. The
"customer" reports back to the merchant that the product never
arrived, and then does an immeadiate charge back on their credit card.
The credit card companies give merchants only TEN days to conirm or
deny non-delivery, however, the post office and many other shipping
companies take 30 days to to close an investigation for a missing
package,and in some cases, up to 90 days.

Byt the time the post office or whomever confimrs or denys the
loss of hte shipment, the ten day period to challenge the chargeback
by the "customer" has passed,a nd even if ht epost office or UPS or
whomever comes back and says "yep - they got it okay", the point is,
according to Visa or Mastercard, you missed your ten day period to
challenge the false chargeback.

yes, the credit card companies know exactly, preciesly what is
going on, and no, they simply do nto care, because they ding the
merchant a heafty charge for the chargeback anyhow, so they ahve made
thier money regardless.

As a result, many companies will no longer take credit cards
form overseas orders, because this kind fo fraud is spreading. I
know, been burnt myself.

I have purchased internationally from Joe before and was very happy
with the way the transaction went.

Just a shame he doesnt stock this EP that I want
Can you do something here Joe?

That probably includes the bank wire transfer fee, too, which, if carefully
rationalised within the daydream, might just allow for placement of the order.

(once it's placed in the cart) and $34.25 airmail parcel post.

Here's the link...

....I take it that that's the same eyepiece.

Of course, then there's the method of payment to consider.

They take credit cards and ship via airmail, not courier, so the
shipping cost will be about $10 - 15 (Canadian).

Adorama has the 10mm Pentax XW (70°) for $289.95 + $53.75 Air Mail shipping to
Australia.
