I think 300 is a fair bit of money anywhere on earth. Especially for shipping a small engine. I love my jet cats. Have owned at least 6-7 so not trashing them. Just a wee bit disappointed and considering that we have to deal idiotic customs it's going to be a painful process to send it out and bring it back in. Im sending it back next week. Fingers crossed and hope it comes back the way it should have in the first place. And without customs headache.
