Wait... you had to pay import on the shipping like it was part of the product?

That seems like overreach.

I can see why you'd be ready to call it quits. That's terrible.

Just to be clear, I myself asked for the US$ 200 UPS shipping just to have it fast over here, looking back at it I better could have used regular shipping because UPS had a big delay in Miami as I understood because of a hurricane (don't know which one), on top of that I totally forgot about the duty over shipping, yeah I tent to do that pay and forget about it, until I get confronted again with a ridiculous customs bill like that :( :(

Ha Tom believe me I did many times it just doesn't help, but it does release stress though! 8)
Maybe if I can finally open that amplifier in the form of 2 ss pipes connected to a vtwin harley or something like that at full throttle... yeah I think that help especially if I can outrun island authority's, f@#*ng robbing bastards! whom if they have the chance bring up the slave trade just to make their point, only point it makes is that they look like dumb assholes, it's getting so old that BS!
