And here I sit is SA and require the Euro-Adaptor base-plate, the two-pin one below the 3-pin square pin UK one! I have at least one US base-plate, perhaps two, currently using one of them with an International Adaptor but it is clumsy. Shipping would kill the deal however. -F_D

if I understand correctly, you have the Europe and UK plug plates, but need the US plug plate. An easy option is to convert the Europe plug to US plug. This should do it, and likely be cheaper than shipping from South Africa. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08JG797PH/ref=sspa_dk_detail_0 Paul
