I guess the shipping difference is courier vs airmail. Distributors set their own prices, and UK doesn’t have Trump’s idiotic 25% China tax (idiotic because as you found out, it is the end consumer that pays, not China). Are you in Australia? Seems to make more sense for me to send from HK (closer). Send me an email with what you need. Regards, Mark

So I've had this issue with the HUD not powering up when connected to the OVMS and then I just had an issue with a bad file in /store causing continuous reboots and thought I'd get a replacement base unit. I already got a small refund from the old distributor because of the faulty hud power.
The problem is that the shipping cost is stupid expensive. US $180 for base module (no GSM) then $205 for shipping!.. =AUD $560 from medlock.
Going for the UK site I have to get it as a kit with cables, but at £166.93 + £19.97 shipping... Which at AUD $328 is a lot cheaper... What the actual f? And I get 2 antennas I don't need and a SIM I can't use as well as the GSM module that I was going to either transfer over or get an in-car wifi solution.
What on earth is going on!?
