Don't feel too bad those of you with WS* confiscations- I had a $1,400 RooR.de order go "missing" from USPS in NY. Made 2 orders with RooR.de, only 1 arrived. No letter from customs or USPS-just suddenly the tracking updated after a month that "information is no longer available" for my package. Pleased to meet you all by the way, I'm not much of a poster but thought I'd share this. It is unfair and fucked up but everything is so corrupt nowadays that I almost expected that at least something would not make it, and it had to be my custom Icemaster. Fuck!
Wish I had read this before I placed my $260 order.

Success! Went to the post office and my whole shipment had come in. I don't think that customs opened it because all the original German "fragile" tape was intact and no notice inside. I will be taking a big toke of relief after work today!!! Also only one piece broke - the finger handle on the firestarter bowl was snapped off- I don't even care after worring about losing my whole shipment to "The Man". Side note: the messiah Illusion 29.9 with a 29.9 to 18.8 reducing downstem makes the inline perc sit too low (about 8mm off) for the rig to lay flat on a table - this makes me sad.
