Cheers @mattclarke that is an incredible offer. I'd never want to see anyone out of pocket, but this is the one time I'd like you to spend 100 steem.

The courier service my end has been a total pain in the arse. They have washed their hands of me and said that it's up to @sevinwilson to put a claim in with the USPD his end. I have tried to make a claim for loss of extra expenses I.E. the import fees I paid to parcel force (including their over the top handling charges) so just waiting to hear back from them.

I wouldn't really be out of pocket.
Clever big hitters understand that a currency is only useful because a lot of people have and use it.
If an observant minnow does some digging and gets himself a pay day, I've just spread it around into some worthy hands, boosting the value of the whole ecosystem.
If Ned and Dan each had half the world's steem it wouldn't be worth squat.
(Same reason I run the Path of Exile competition)
I'd be very glad to pay up, mate :)
