I use Laurie Turtle - find him quick and reliable (he even checks for no charge if I disagree with any of his transcript  :)  :) )

Most o/seas certificates are now much more cheaply bought online - no need to use a third party.

PS The $15 fee is usually based on you providing the NSW ref number - there may be other fees if they have to search for your person.
