Is the brand "euro tech" one that doesn't require toiveling? I know that the brand "Heis" does not as they are made by yidden and have a hechsher from:

EG: Euro Tech ET7100 5-Quart Hot Water Urn ($49.99)

If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

When bought from a non-jewish seller it makes no difference and would need tevila. The big question is who the FBA seller is. If they are frum then you can ask them.

Good point, I didn't think of that. Thanks

From the questions on Amazon it looks like this has a shabbos mode.

Search under tevilah and it comes up that it does not need tevilah... probably a Jewish seller...

I asked, they answered:

Is reporting an Amazon seller, to "Amazon" for selling Counterfeit, mesira?

He may only get blocked on that item or he may lose his whole account. But no gov involved.

the OU relies on Chalav Stam in India, Mexico, and Colombia
Interesting. I recently heard a shiur from a respected rosh chabura @bmg with extensive ties to the kollelim in Mexico.

He reported that he was told that in Mexico it was (is?) common to mix in a small percentage of non kosher milk as a preservative.

(Btw, I wouldn't trust the Mexican government much either )

Or better does tea need a hechsher?

if you look in the new levush, they bring in the footnotes from the Elyah Rabbah (I think, but may be confusing with s/t else) a list of all the winters and which came true and which didn't

It would be the Elya Rabba since that is who the PMG is quoting.

It would be 2015 but not 2014.
