At least the driver put the package behind something to shield it from thieves. It takes an extra second for a delivery person set the package down gently, but some people won't even do that. My UPS guy just sets my packages down wherever he pleases. Regardless. Cartridges are the least likely to be damaged during transit. I worked at Fedex for 20 years as a courier. Handled everyone's package as if it were my own.
UPS Driver Literally Drops Package with New Hana Umami Red
I just purchased a Hana Umami Red and it arrived yesterday. I looked back at my ring doorbell video footage and saw that the UPS driver literally dropped the package from about waist high onto my porch. Here is a link to the shared video: https://ring.com/share/b8d92b2f-f777-4366-8cca-18459bc6bfac
It was packaged well from the distributor and everything looks fine (I opened the box before realizing this happened). I haven’t installed yet, but I’m pretty upset by this and not sure I want to install it. The rational side of me is saying these packages see much worse during transit, but I’m worried about the possible damage or latent damage this careless act may have caused. How robust are phono cartridges and how susceptible to shipping damage? Looking for some opinions please.
