 I can understand this, but in both cases, UPS made the mistakes,
 customs.

 Today UPS in Santa Cruz admitted they lost the second hard disk.

 I still have no specific complaints about the dealer.  They are
        planning to send me a 3rd hard disk now.

 Local dealers are USUALY more reliable, but in my case, there is no
        local dealer that could have supplied a drive of this size.  And
        even if they had, it would have cost two times as much.

        Thanks
