The company InCase makes a keyboard that I've been wanting to buy.
But it's been out-of-production and "coming soon" for months.
I was on their waiting list, but I was never notified.
I noticed that it was available, but when I went to order it it was only available in the US.
So I ordered to my mailing service and had it forwarded to Europe.
The DHL to here cost more than the keyboard.
Then I get a message from DHL that I have to pay customs of half the cost of the keyboard.
Then I see that Amazon sells this stinking keyboard in Europe.

Maybe you could leave him a cold Coke in the delivery box. I wouldn't go as far as fresh cookies, since it was his fault that you had to complain about him. But a soda is an easy offering.

Except that it sounds like he never stops at the box now, so you can't even give him a small gift! Grrrrr.

Arg indeed. I don't suppose you can refuse the first purchase, given all the extra costs? Probably not, at this point. Grrrr.
