My ebay junk from Honk Kong compared well with the hydrometer readings as well.

ditto - Plus mine arrived here in an 'inter-office' envelope, you know, the kind held closed with a bit of string would arround two paper disks. No tape or glue sealing it at all - it gave me a new-found respect for the global postal service! That got all shot to hell when something I ordered from Mississauga got sent to Calgary :x

The post office is suffering in the information age so it's modelling itself after the Internet. Packages get chopped up into packets and shipped around the world in all different directions and if you're lucky they all make it to the destination on time and get reassembled there.

Usually we just kick the parcels MMA style and/or throw them violently into the palletized cages we move mail in. With extra gusto if you mark something as "fragile."
Brewing right now: whatever is going on tap at Stillwell in a few weeks.
