The projector finally made it. The shipping company was sort of clown like — but they did manage to not shove a forklift through the side of the crate.
I did a quick inspection to make sure that it hadn’t sustained any obvious damage. The unit was very well packed. Let it warm up to room temperature (hey, Canadian winters) for the rest of the afternoon.
Later that day my brother in-law came over to haul it downstairs. It was late, so I just left it in the crate.
