We've spoiled ourselves with CCP subsidy. It wasn't like that about 20 years ago.

You'd pay a pretty penny for things and support local/national businesses. Now, you're funneling fuel into the dragon's mouth. For what? A hobby project? Just spend the $7 shipping and get it from Digikey.

Just went to my local Digikey site. Shipping is $20 USD or $26 NZD.

I presume you’re in NZ: You also live in the Southern Hemisphere, way south. YMMV. I presume ordering literally anything besides AliExpress/eBay us expensive in New Zealand.

Shipping fee is not supported by CCP subsidy but by Universal Postal Convention.
