No Offense dude but that seems to have to suck to order gear, get it checked and then start. Just me though. Its really disgusting how dirty and careless these UGL's are. I mean yeah you get gear but if its crap you lost a customer. Bad business to me. Had it happen a few times though.
As for the cough....take a mild cough supressent just to be on the safe side. It wont hurt you I promise
