UPS Driver Literally Drops Package with New Hana Umami Red

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. 

And you think that was the worst of the treatment your package received from point A to point B?

This probably applies little if at all, but as a reporter I toured a football helmet maker’s factory. They measure impact with an accelerometer inside a model “head.” They then dropped an 8-pound “head” with and without the helmet and measured the impact. I was astounded at what just an inch of foam padding inside the helmet shell did to reduce impact. So imagine what a tiny cart experiences inside that much bubble wrap. 

That drop is so nothing.  The driver didn't even wind up! 

Mulveling, Re my Quicksilver preamplifier, the problem was that the capacitors I installed were way larger than the original capacitors that were replaced.  Ergo, the upgraded capacitors simply could not fit securely where the originals were installed.  When I did the upgrade, it was for my own benefit and my own use. I then lived with the Q as the main preamplifier in my Beveridge system for a couple of years.  By the time I went to sell it, I had completely forgotten about the precarious way in which I had mounted those caps, which I could never have expected to withstand the rigors of shipping.  This is why I in no way blame the carrier for the fact that one of the two capacitors broke loose at one end.
