Yes, that's bad... We've now made the full circle with the couriers. 
DHL, FedEx and now UPS. DHL was OK most of the time, but very 
expensive. Still had our issues with them though. We never found a 
good way of handling repair issues with the FedEx, and had to fax 
big amounts of paperwork for each unit going back and forth. Now 
we're trying with UPS. What I mean is that it seems like none of 
them are really perfect.

BTW, please do not reply to the full daily digest! It's getting big 
these days...
