If I remember correctly, in the end, I was informed that the
tapes were at the censorship board, only for them to ask if I would
pay for the delivery charges for the tapes to be sent to me. Well,
what could I have said?!? 
If they hadn't ripped out my tapes (yes, the packaging was torn and
ripped) and go through all that, the tapes would have arrived at my
office without me incurring additional cost and hassle. Those tapes
were sent to me by a UK university...with all the contact and
sender's address, etc. all listed.
