How can I order a Type J (Switzerland) wall socket duck head from Australia?

Hello, Would anyone have any information on how to purchase from Australia a Switzerland ( J type ) wall socket duck head for an apple power adaptor.

The "world" travel adaptor kit doesn't include one.

Apple Aust can't order one from Switzerland. Can't seem to find one on Amazon or Ebay.

I have tried the Swiss Apple website and don't understand Swiss German and there is no English translation for that web site.

Prefer not to have to purchase an adaptor for an adaptor otherwise defeats the point of having the apple travel kit.

Thanks

Don't believe Apple ever made a J-type duck head. However the C-Type European 2-prong duck head should work in most Swiss J-Type sockets. It'll just lack the 3rd grounding prong.

The Apple Kit is a nice looking package, but on closer inspection you really only get 1 adapter that will work in the given country that you are visiting. Chances are, you will never use most of the adapters in the kit.

Don't know about you, but when my wife and I are traveling, we need at least 4-5 adapters for the iPhones, laptop, iPad, razor, hairdryer, etc.

You can buy multiple correct adapters for less than 10 Euros on Amazon or at local shops in the Alps. Most hotels have a supply on hand as well.

Apple in Zurich have confirmed the Continental Europe duck-head adaptor in the Apple World travel adaptor kit will and does fit Swiss wall power sockets.
