Mine arrived with all contents in tact and in good condition, but the box was not pristine. I've had problems before with the USPS and crushed boxes, but things usually get here. I'm wondering if perhaps one of the other common factors to all of this might be overlooked - that being the particular post office these might all have been shipped from. It seems odd that so many problems seem to be similar in nature, and I just can't imagine the post office could stay in business as a package courier if this were a wide spread practice.
Perhaps a different drop might be used next time or maybe use of a different courier might be explored. I don't like DHL as they seem to be less than professional in my area so I'd stay away from them, but I wonder how Mouser might be able to send things so cheaply (I'm sure it has something to do with contracts and quantity though).
Anyway, it's just my pennies being thrown out and it's late and I tend to get wordy this early in the morning.
