Kau graciously cross-shipped the hard drives to me after I paid via Amazon Payments with funds from my bank account. I did not realize that it would take time to clear but Kau shipped out despite never dealing with me before.

The hard drives were shipped quickly and packed very well. All arrived intact.

Kau also was very helpful in answering my questions concerning Amazon Payments. I learned a lot, thanks so much Kau!
