That's the truth. In a previous reply I mentioned I have a "small" 9406-270
in my living room. I found it listed on eBay. It was in New York. I'm in
Central Texas. It was listed with a flat $50 shipping fee. From the photos
and shipping fee I was expecting something small enough to be shipped by UPS
or FedEx. I made the seller an offer $50 less than the list price which
they accepted, so I basically got free shipping. It was shipped by UPS
- UPS Freight. There was no way UPS Fright could get down my driveway so I
had to pick it up at their terminal. Fortunately it was shipped on a tiny
pallet that just fit in the back of my mini-van. It looks like an oversized
tower PC, but is definitely unusually heavy for its size. I have to use a
dolly to move it around.
