Tested to give $7.21 delivery for NSW address, otherwise free delivery with $49 spend for Prime members.
Not a stationary collector nor a designer myself, but saw this on PriceHipster, and seems like a good deal for those who actually use this (lowest Amazon US price according to 3Camels). Especially a brief search on google on this gives back results of AU$60+ before shipping. (or US$50+, or Euro 50+)
Not very lucky that AUD/USD is pretty low at the moment, while it is predicted/expected to go up in the next few months along with interests rates, no idea if this price will stay until then.
Hope this helps those who use this.
