A McEwan Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Hi, Does anyone know where I could buy a few male and female type 0.965" eyepiece caps? I have a few eyepieces and diagonals that need to be better protected. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johninderby Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Maybe contact them direct and see if there is a better postage rate. https://eyepiececaps.com/caps-for-eyepieces-5-or-10-packs/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis D Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 You could also try to locate a UK supplier of vinyl caps who will sell small volumes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piero Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Yeah, I would get them from eBay as John Derby suggested. A couple of years ago I bought a 1.25" to 0.96" adapter on eBay. It came from China in 2 weeks and cost me about 3 pounds including shipping cost... That was a bargain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soap-Box-Mode-On: Remember, because China is considered a developing economy, the Universal Postal Union affords it much lower shipping rates than those afforded to developed nations allowing it to ship items cheaper across the globe than the developed nations' businesses would have to charge to ship it locally. This forces the developed countries' postal systems to absorb the difference in cost. It is for this reason the US is threatening to pull out of the treaty establishing the UPU unless things change vis-a-vis China.
