Sean: I've decided I'm just going to swallow the charge - applied by Customs to the value of the kit as declared on the waybill. It's not right for me to give you extra stress at this time, nor do I want extra stress arguing about it with everyone. Sorry for the blip! My shipment is to be redelivered Tuesday 07AUG. Thanks, David.

We are doing our best to get these devices to everyone as fast and (under the current circumstances) as cheap as we can. I can assure you that the harmonized code is correct on the invoice. Also, these are standard UPS Worldship invoices, so I'm really at a loss as to what we did wrong. Please let me know what exactly what our mistake was and I will personally make sure this is fixed. We're committed to getting these kind of issues resolved so phase 2 can be a really smooth experience for everyone. So I really need your help here. -Sean This email and any files attached are intended for the addressee and may contain information of a confidential nature.
