[App_rpt-users] cheap USB fobs

[Chuck Henderson]

By the way, these do not come with the CD.  They say that they remove
the CD so that the item will come through customs without delay.
Apparently when a CD shows up on an xray they think it might be a
copyright infringement and so they delay it to inspect it further.
What I ordered from a different company in Hong Kong did come with a
CD and it took 65 days to get here, almost all of that time was with
it sitting in customs.  I had a similar problem with something
different with a CD that I ordered from Canada, customs delayed it
almost 3 months, because of the CD.   It is a good thing that we don't
need the CD for this use.
