Sometimes you get lucky.
As most people on this list know, I buy terminals. They're big.
They're heavy. They're fragile. I've bought a large number of them.
Every single time one has been damaged, it was due to J. Random Ebay
User trying to pinch a few bucks on shipping and not packing it
properly. It really didn't matter who the carrier was: UPS, USPS, or
FedEx, they've all sent me damaged goods and it was *always* because
the seller didn't pack it properly.
So when I make comments about what has been reliable for me, it's not
based on a single one-off experiment, it's based literally on hundreds
examples over 10 years.
You can shout till the cows come home that I'm wrong and you hate UPS,
or whatever, but data is data.
