IMHO, if it works, you got yourself a deal, late or not...
Please let us know if it works

I can't remember, but believe it was ordered around June/July. It only took about 6 months! I never got around to formally complaining, and am glad it finally arrived. I plugged it in and gave it a test run tonight. While I've never used a zapper before, I did detect a very slight buzzy/tingly feeling (the clips were attached to stainless steel with wet paper towels).
