| Packaging Packaging ![]() When you receive a box that looks like this, you have to seriously wonder (and pray) about the wellbeing of the precious case held within. From the looks of the box; it seems someone used a donkey to drag it across half the continent before it got to my door. Then for the heck of it, the donkey looks to have taken a few bites out of the box since there are some gaping holes here and there. Not only did the delivery company see fit to destroy and retape the box but to add insult to injury they also left it on my doorstep…in the pouring rain. It should be said that this is not Hiper’s fault but rather serves as an example why shipping insurance is a must these days. Other than my rant, you can see this is a box….with the features written on it…and some nice pictures…and it weighs an absolute ton…ok enough of that, let’s look inside and see what the damage is. ![]() Upon first glance it looks like the Anubis is hail and healthy and that first observation holds true as it is unpackaged. Whether it is because of the advertised ruggedness of this case or the fact that there is plenty of foam padding, there is not even a scratch to be seen. Count me stunned because the last time I received a case where the packing box was in this kind of condition (my old Sonata II) one of the side panels was dented and two of the feet were MIA. Anubis: 1, delivery company from hell: 0. | ||
