Be thankful you're not outside USA and stuck with Newark as the ONLY
house with stock of a part.  We ordered two connectors ($7.52 each)
and selected USPS Priority International (based on the recommendation
of Newark in an email exchange as the cheapest option).  Shipping of
course won't come up on the Newark site, so we were somewhat pissed
off to eventually get billed $38.05 for shipping.  Newark haven't
heard of USPS flat rate boxes.
