Not just int'l shipping but the device itself.

I think miniPCR has an enclosure design that is nice looking,
but with laborious assembly time required.
Enclosures for a specialized thing with air flow paths, light paths, etc
need to be a custom shape which can be made by milling machine in plastic in
low volumes, then the same shape molded via a mid volume injection-mold-tool
in aluminum like protomold sells. Whoever is assembling that clear acrylic
is getting paid, which is driving the sell price up.
