That's how I had my O2 sent, DHL, 2nd day. No problems, no dings, my XYL
signed for it while I was at work. The thing I like about UPS and FedEx is
that you can track your shipment stage-by-stage of its delivery. Every
place it got thrown on a conveyer belt, dropped off the back of a truck or
thrown out an airplane is documented!
