Nay, a pearl of great price!

The preliminary notice, BTW, was almost certainly generated by my first attempt to ship the thing, in which I entered the data online but—having failed to print out the declaration in triplicate, and then attempting to supplement it with a pen-and-paper—somehow choked the system at the post office. The second, successful attempt commenced here in California nine days ago. According to the usps.com tracking system (LZ313122200US), the parcel cleared customs on your end today.

cordially,
