Stay tuned for part 3.
When the courier came to drop off DS925+, I was in a meeting and missed the call. :(
To my surprise they sent a whatsapp saying they would leave it at the closest kiosk for my convenience.
Upon collecting I found it was packaged extremely well, double boxed and heavy duty bubble wrap to ensure...
