Looking at the profile flags I was the fastest UK finisher, so I'll take that as a win :)

That looks like a fun thing to play with and get setup. I will have to give it a go. 

Your last code example however looks a little confusing as your .Scan() method returned the Data: SHIPPER and 28083901 yet the barcodes JSON has SHIPPER and 12345601.
