So it cost 10x to ship 10 as it does 1... I think there is something dodgy there... I wonder if there is a "By sea" price, rather than by air.

I have asked about a By Sea price. The reply said that shipping by sea is priced on a minimum CBM (CuBic Metre) so if the snorkels are 0.5m3 and the minimum CBM is 1m3. Then we would be paying the higher price.
Carry is going to contact their shipping agent and then get back to me.

The shipping price quoted is very expensive, but i would imagine its due to using Fedex premium air shipments.
I buy a number of components from China for shipment back to Europe and as a rule of thumb freight and duty is on average 20% of the cost (obviously depends upon the size and weight) but a camshaft which is 1.5m long and 200mm dia cost around $40 to ship from China to Germany.
