Yeah, I don't think they're scheming to rip people off. I just think that, like certain presidents, they think things will be 'easy' then when they're actually running the show they find it isn't.

And for this newest campaign, they have said that the shipping fee to Holland includes taxes and duties. I wonder if that is possible. Whenever I have ordered an item from overseas, the shipper has always made very clear in advance that any import taxes and duties are my responsibility.
See your own earlier comment about the USB host controllers. My guess is, once again, they are making 'easy' promises before doing the research to find out what their promise entails.
