I'm currently building an oil burner for my soon to be furnace and am at the point where I need to buy the Hago siphon nozzle.

Now for some strange reason the only retail level supplier of these seems to be Patriot Supply in the US who have extremely exorbitant shipping charges. To ship the US$27.67 nozzle to Australia will cost US$34.95 and it makes no difference if you deal with them directly or through eBay. I then thought I would get it sent to my mate in the US but they still want US$10 to ship it to him. This nozzle is about the size and weight of an AA battery so I can only assume ripping on the shipping is a nice little earner for them.

Long story short, I'll be placing an order for a couple of nozzles and it turns out the shipping for two or ten nozzles is the same. This being the case I figured I would check to see if there is anyone else that might be planning to order any of these nozzles and if so perhaps we could place a single order and share the shipping cost.

Of course if anyone knows of an alternate supplier less inclined to pillage their customers then this too would be very useful information.

I will probably be placing my order with Patriot some time in the next week, so if anyone is interested let me know before then.

Cheers,
Greg.

P.S. I know there used to be a forum rule on group buys but I could not find anything mentioned in the terms of use page. As this is really only aimed a saving on international shipping and not undercutting a local supplier I hope there is no issue but I have no problem if the mod's deem it necessary to delete this thread.
