[Milsurplus] ART-13 speech amp

[Peter Gottlieb]

I suspect an additional set of eyes looks over the item when they handle the shipping. That person has restrictions in mind and likely has a huge workload so any little thing gets flagged. They probably get dinged if customs etc flags any items they let through. I suspect they only look at the item title and don't read the description so that's where you could say exactly what your item is. Any smart buyer when searching includes description.
