Yep. and they did not even open the box. In my hands exactly 24hrs later. Did pay duty though as they called to know what was in the box. Figured I was better off telling them straight up. Gotta love Fedex

I was trying to avoid it since I didn't know how Robb felt about it but since you figured it out there is no sense in me lying. I don't think it's a problem though.
