They wouldn't be giving up Christmas sales in the UK altogether if it couldn't be helped.

Without knowing anything at all about the numbers, I get that it's probably better to meet immediate demand fully in particular markets rather than have slow shipments everywhere. I.e., they want the US Christmas sales.
But I highly doubt they've had enough time to fix the problem. So why sell in the US when the problem still exists? If I didn't know about the problem and was looking at the listing for the Colorsoft, I'd not buy one because of it's low rating and then reading about the problem(s) with it.
