It is true that Lee had to pay more for GST than he should, but he also paid $23.00 less for shipping than it actually cost, so in the end, Lee ended up way to the good. That doesn't mean that the maker couldn't have posted that he was sorry for the screw up, but that doesn't appear to be the way mstephen does things.
I stand corrected. But as you say Keith an apology was in order.
