Well, after 4 days I heard from the seller. Very nice man from Paris, he charged me $10 shipping, I thanked him and added him to my list of...
You say they are charging CA sales tax, do you live in CA? If so, they are only following the law. Nothing to complain about there. Heck, 17.5%...
Thanks for your suggestions guys. I think I will wait. Sorry to those who believe I should just pay up, but I have never had a seller refuse to...
