<div class="moz-cite-prefix">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...))<br>

Ordered a pile of small antenna bits from a company in Germany
on the 22nd of December, paid for 'economy shipping - German
Post office' of $5 Euro not expecting anything to be fast this
time of year.<br>
<br>
In contrast, I ordered a electronic module from another German
company back in the 1st week of December, Only shipping option
Fedex. They lost it, and are processing the insurance claim
now. <br>
<br>
Sometimes you just don't get what you pay for with shipping.<br>

Oh, and happy new year, don't post to here very often these
days. :-)<br>
<br>
Cheers, Chris H.<br>
