Can anyone recommend an online retailer with a huge selection of seals and hydraulic parts where pricing is visible up front?

I often need to compare different seal types/materials and make economic decisions on whether something is worth rebuilding or just leaving it alone, so being able to quickly toggle between options and prices is important.

Ideally I’m looking for somewhere that also ships internationally (Australia), and has a broad range of hydraulic seals, O-rings, rod seals, wipers, rotary seals, etc.

I’m honestly a bit surprised there doesn’t seem to be a “DigiKey/LCSC” or Chinese equivalent for hydraulic seals and fluid power parts. I’ve searched around but haven’t really found anything that fits -

For some things i have got seals from Alibaba - but because I mostly need small quantities of many different types of seals from different suppliers the cheap parts become expensive due to shipping

Huge thanks for any ideas or input

Hi all — hoping someone can confirm our understanding of the 461 / bridging visa process.

I'm a NZ citizen (SCV 444) and my partner is an NZ permanent resident currently in Australia on a Visitor (651) visa.

Her visa expires in about 3 weeks (really only ~14 working days).

Our understanding to secure a Bridging Visa (BVA) is:

Prepay the 461 application online and obtain a TRN
Courier the paper application to the Sydney office with “Signature on Delivery” = lodged
Next step:

(A)

Do we need to wait — and for how long — until the Sydney office data entry team logs receipt and the department officially acknowledges/lodges the application, which then triggers the BVA issuance?

(We might run out of time.)

(B)

Once tracking shows “delivered”, can we immediately import/link the application and documents into ImmiAccount ourselves, triggering the BVA bridging visa?

(If so, timing should be OK.)

Has anyone done this recently and can confirm whether (A) or (B) is correct?
