Hi all 
I need to order a 7i73 and shipping is $90 USD to get it to Qld Australia. This may be the unavoidable cost but I can't justify it for a $49usd board.
I'm happy to wait a couple of months if necessary and combine freight with others ordering from Mesa.
If your considering ordering and would like to combine our orders and split freight costs PM me. 
Cheers Brad.

See if you can buy a used MESA board from someone in Austrailia.

Or an Aisian knockoff.

Even in Canada, shipping from China/Thailand is often cheaper than shipping from USA.

(except digi-key)

Not a clone, a "compatible" device.

Support comes with a 90USD shipping cost.

Plus due to timezone differences, support will probably be impaired.

"Asian knockoff", how the fuck would that be read as compatible ?
And where would one find one ?

And once again your stupid senseless post show up and add nothing.

Sometimes you can get less expensive shipping via a forwarder, might take a little longer to arrive, but may work out a little cheaper. But yeah it's been somewhat expensive for shipping Down Under...and no jokes about Qld being 20 years and 1 hour behind....it's non daylight savings time now hahaha

Oh those prices are going to be about 1.6 higher in Aussie beer tokens. So yeah it does end up costing heaps.

I didn't mean for this to turn into a debate.
I have had great support from Mesa and they make quality parts.
The freight is not their core business but is the weight around their necks for sales into Australia.

I was just hoping to get a better deal if able to combine costs. Better products and service and reasonable freight.

Yeah sorry about that mate.

Shipping is a killer to Down Under. I've used shipito as a forwarder and gotten good value on previous occasions.

I've previously used a Spartan 6 Dev board\Colorlight board (spartan 6 based ones are hard to find now) as a smart serial card based on Mesa's 7i90 hostmot2 firmware. Unfortunately it only supports digital I\O and 4 encoders for use as hand wheels. No analogue nor keyboard functions and not quite as compact as the 7i73.
