Purchasing charging peripherals from other countries...

I've been browsing for a few peripherals, namely charging stations/bricks.

 

I'm in Australia:

 

When buying a product from a company based in a region outside your own, let's use Ugreen as an example which is a company that doesn't have AUS/Oceania as a region option. Will the power plug I'm sent be a US one, or is it standard to send the relivant plug from the region the order was placed from? My question is particularly aimed at products like wall chargers where the plug is actually a part of the product which leaves no option to swap out the power cable like you would do with a HUB/Dock.

Where are you buying from? Generally, they send the plug for the region that you buy from.

Buying from AUS. From Ugreen for example. Ugreen doesn't show AUS/Oceania on their website as a region option, and all their products are shown with US power connection.

It's certainly possible that you'll get the correct plug, but I wouldn't assume that, especially if your region isn't an option on their website.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

if they dont have australia as an option, it's safe to assume they dont make their products with australian plugs.
