The only thing that I blame the seller for, is not telling me to expect these
additional charges. I had asked what was involved in getting the unit to me.
If I needed to contact anyone or would I be contacted? I just feel that info
was with held. Of course, had I known about the charges I would not have
bought the unit. I'm just relaying this experence as a "learn from my
mistake" precaution. Wish I had heard about this stuff from others.
Safety Fast,
David
