THIS is the way all online stores should handle International orders. Thanks OWC. Update:

Now I have a sour aftertaste because the 2nd Elite-AL Pro mini I ordered is defective, and it turns out I'm expected to pay at least $68 in freight charges to ship back a $55 enclosure that's defective. How does that make sense? I've placed 22 orders with Amazon over the last 2 years, and on the two occasions where defective products have been shipped to me, Amazon replaced them without expecting me to ship back what is essentially junk. Amazon is the standard I hold to compare and evaluate my online suppliers. I order goods online from the US, UK, and China and my own country, Australia.

Nothing says I love you like keeping your most important information safe! :) 500GB DIY!: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Seagate/YST9500420AS/ My actual internal is smaller than my new drive by a little bit so I'm going to partition it to half the same size and use that half for a clone and the other half for time machine back up! Genius, right! I can sleep at night again! I got a backup drive!!!
