What COMPLETELY amazes me is how he accepted shipment of the cards
without verifying that a single one of them actually worked.

Fedex handles airbills in nearly every industrial center of the world.
If this were my build, I would have requested that they 3-day-air a
single card/engineering sample to me for verification and validation.
In the worst case, he would be out the money, but at least he would
have had some proof that working cards were inbound.... along with
pictures, videos, etc.

It is comical to think that any reputable manufacturer would have
taken offense to this. Engineering samples are commonplace in the
electronics manufacturing world.
