Say no to toasted perishables

Dear Californian Biorad peeps:

Thanks for all the free goodies we were promised as a reward for beta-testing some new products. But please realize we live on the very opposite side of the continent, in a relatively rural place (compared to California, anyway), and shipments sent mid-week will NOT arrive in "two business days".

In fact, judging by the flurry of emails volleying back and forth today between shippers, customs brokers, border agents, central receiving and me (-gah!), the perishable items on Day 10 of their transit are probably junk at this point. I hope we all learned a bit more about shipping sensitive goods internationally, because we will likely get a second shot at this very soon.
