Just remember postage kills a lot of heavy stuff from over there. I bought 2 power feeds that weighed 30 lbs and it cost me $110 US though other sellers wanted $160 US. It depends on where they are situated in the US.
A 8" chuck weighs 15kg so it will be a lot more and H & F price is only $207 for one.
I have just finished fitting a H & F 250mm 4 jaw Fuerda chuck that I have had for a while to a back plate, and there look to pretty good chucks for the money.

Edit
30 lbs not 15lbs fixed now

I use USPS flat rate international boxes from the states, they are only $44 flat for up to 20 pounds worth of stuff. They wont work for long or bulky items though.

I have found most US sellers to be accomodating re using these boxes.

I always get a postage quote before proceeding with an order, even here in Oz.

Delivery charges can vary enormously between suppliers, I had 2 quotes from the UK, 1 was more than 3 times the other for delivery

Dave_J, have to disagree with your statement that postage to Australia varies with where the seller is situated in the US, visit the USPS website and you'll see their postage rates published to Australia (or any other country). There is no mention of place of origin within the US AFAIK.

I edited my post above to 30 lbs for the power feeds, sorry my mistake.

Big shed,
When I bought them ezyaccessories gave me a postage price of $70 US each or $110 US combined for them. I contacted Jeff Beck Tools4cheap as his power feeds were lower priced, I told him about the $110 price and he told me the best price he could do was $160 US.
Maybe things have changed with the postage, it was a few years ago that I bought them.
Just had a look and it was Jan 08, longer than I thought

Dave
