Important Note on Shipping
eBay have made a change which assumes that if you listing on the US site (eBay.com) the item is located in the USA and all domestic shipping is hence at local USA rates and types.

 This item is in fact located in New Zealand. I can't change the description or the shipping types to reflect this service, however the rate you see quoted covers international, signed for shipping.
