Saturday morning equipment abuse

A wobbly palette of hifi gearTNT carriers seem to be a bit short staffed at the moment. Half an order for some review products failed to arrive with the other half, and another full order simply hadn’t arrived as this last week drew to a close.

But I was woken on Saturday morning by a TNT courier who was making a rare weekend delivery with, it turned out, all the stuff that had been missing.

The equipment distributors go to a lot of trouble to take care of their products. I do likewise (once I had to defend myself against the accusation that I must not have reviewed a particular TV because the next reviewer thought it was factory packed. I pointed out that if so, why was it tuned in to Canberra TV stations?)

That isn’t always the way with couriers though.

What you see to the right is what was delivered: $22,000 worth of high quality equipment precariously balanced on each other, bits poking out, cartons crushed from directions for which weren’t designed to withstand stresses.

So far everything seems to work. Thankfully.
