So, I finally got back to these posts which reminded me that I ordered the tool set from the Mister Tao website - and I never received them.
So FYI to all:
My credit card initially declined the order because it was unusual overseas activity. After a phone call to CC, it went through.
I received an order confirmation e-mail on July 1st from Mister Tao.
Then, nothing. I expected it to take some time and frankly I forgot about it.
Upon looking into the whereabouts of this order, I logged into the Mister Tao site & my account. In my account was a message for making a second payment (I guess for overseas shipping?).
I did not receive an e-mail notification about this message (dated 7/18/2013). It stated that I had 48 hours to make a second payment or the order would be canceled and no refund would be made. So, guess I'm out $36.
I am finding these instructions on their site now, but I completely missed them when I place the order.
I had customized some Gelpi retractors this past spring, which worked reasonably well, though they tended to turn sideways and allow the incision to close. So, I was looking forward to trying this set, as it is well recommended.
Just a little too irritated to place the order again right now.
