[Helmut Walle]

Cost doesn't matter. You did still get what you would expect, though: 
German efficiency in the first case, and in the second case the American 
service provider failing on a supposedly simple job (but wait, now that 
they've lost it, you've got an insurance claim, and I am sure you will 
find yourself before a US court in no time at all - and then may God 
have mercy on your poor soul! (Oh, and it doesn't matter if you don't 
believe in either, because they've got enough faith over there to cover 
you in that regard as well...))

Kind regards,

Helmut.
