Reprap Prusa Mendel Complete Hardware Set Received

Well after 1.5 weeks my mixshop order was received.  Mixshop is in Canada am I am not so I had a few surprises from the delivery process.  First was shipping cost (I knew this at my checkout) was $59.51.  But the second was the UPS man had me pay by check at my front door $42.86 for an import fee?  (<<-- I definitely did not realize that at checkout.)  I was not allowed to pay by cash or credit card and after searching my house for five minutes while the UPS guy was asking if he should try to deliver it tomorrow, I finally found my checkbook that I haven't used in 2 years.  So in total, $295.40 of product from Mixshop in Canada cost me an additional $102.37 in shipping costs.  That is a lot of money for the order.  Because of this somewhat hidden cost, when I build another one I will not be using mixshop.  Don't get me wrong though, if I lived in Canada I would recommend them as my order was complete and as promised.

The box didn't have any padding inside and the corner was damaged but hardware is tough.

Everything was placed neatly in plastic bags with very little grouping. 

I wanted to get started very quickly. 

 And after an hour I discovered I had no glue and decided to call it a night.

Mixshop in the last week actually added a new kit that puts everything together including Ramps electronics, although I have my mind set on Gen6 unless someone more experienced in Reprap tells my the error in my ways.  More pictures to come.
