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!

I recently switched to DHL. They seem very fast, careful, and maybe cheaper
than the Brown slammers.

I am a VoIP engineer. As fate would have it I got a
IP PBX from Avaya yesterday. About the same size as
the Orion.
The PBX came via FedEx and looks like it was hand
carried from the factory in Denver 1000 miles away.
Looks like the box was never even set down anywhere.
The Orion came UPS and looks like it was dragged
behind a truck from Sevierville , TN 530 miles away.
Little dings and holes in the box. Black skid marks
everywhere like it was stuck on a conveyor belt.
I report, you decide.

I am at the point of telling shippers, "If you use
UPS, I don't want
it."
Twice this winter, I've followed the progress of a
package on their
web site to have it not arrive when scheduled. At 9
pm it suddenly
says that it has been rescheduled for the next day.
It was supposedly
"out for delivery" on the day it was originally
scheduled. It
happened again yesterday with a repair coming back
from TT. I paid
extra for 2nd day air cuz of scheduling problems on
my end, and no
radio. I know that UPS will drop and run and don't
want $2k of radio
sitting open on my front porch either. Hope they
get it right today.
