    I will be calling the credit card company. My receipt said 2-3 day delivery for a American foulbrood test.. over 20 delivery fee (for a small 6.00 item.. this is a time sensitive item that helps to know if you have a devastating disease present, that could destroy a countless population of our important bee population.

    Hi ****. So sorry our email to you wasn't successful. We urged you to contact your local provincial apiculturist immediately. This is very serious and must be reported.We have refunded your purchase and the freight.We would need to alert all levels of local and provincial government as and when this text is published.As the item states - this is used for suspicious low level possible infections. The way you are so concerned doesn't fit the scope of this product at all and delay to contact the necessary authorities could be very detrimental
