This is the cheapest I could find for a powered combined USB 3.0 Hub with built in multi-card reader with support for most card types including CF cards. Based in Sydney and local postage. Have not bought from them before but have ordered one.
BTW - Price is more than $40 incl postage on Mushtato ebay listing for the same item.

Doesn't support CF cards unfortunately…
Not powered and not top loading and not Aussie seller
Aussie seller. Posting from Australia. Next day delivery within metro Sydney
are you illiterate or intellectually disabled? no one said anything about made in australia
Not powered
Neither is the one that you linked to in the OP
and not top loading
That is a non problem, truly. Many people (like me) would see that as a definite disadvantage (but it would be great if the Card Reader was top loading)..

Your OP is for the Mushtato ebay listing, so that comment makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
Yes it is powered includes PSU. Micro SD reader part can work without external power.
Top loading much easier for single hand operation.
Just pointing out that it is likely a new deal not yet updated in ebay store
harsh
OP - direct website link not ebay
Not top loading USB either.
Imo, the Yum-Cha branded USB hubs aren't worth the $2 dollars the workers were paid to make them. They use el-cheapo chipsets that move files at 4.7kB/s and randomly disconnect devices when all the ports are in use.
Better off with something like this, this or this if the hub is going to be next your desktop PC or at your office desk permanently.
These generic ones are suitable for file transfers in a pinch when you're moving a picture or two onto a laptop or something but if you care at all about file transfer speeds (otherwise why would you buy USB 3.0 devices), spend a little more.

Very interested in your proof that the hub/card reader above transfers files at 4.7kB/s
Otherwise it would be easy for us to call "bulldust" on your story.
I believe Anker and Dlink have similar factory making their products. Please research more in OEM industry if you're interested.
come someone recommend a good USB3 hub? All the popular ones on amazon dont ship to Aust
What type of USB hub you're looking for? need PSU with the hub ?
I'm also looking for a USB3 hub with PSU. Any suggestions?
Check out this 10port USB 3.0 Hub from Mushtato.com.au

Arrived - 36 hours post order (1 working day - as ordered at night)
Working well
The blue indicator light - BRIGHT
Received mine today, tested it. Read and wright speeds for Patriot Extreme USB 2 and Class 10 SD card are the same as being inserted directly into my 2013 iMac.
Thanks, hope you like the product :)
That blue light is a little too bright. I bit of tape to dull it down might have to be placed. Otherwise it should do.
sounds expensive.
