  • First Europe tour for my new server cases

    I did order two great Norco server cases RPC-4224 at XCase.co.uk (renamed XCase RM424).

    Those cases did a loooooong trip before arriving in Belgium thanks to UPS: UK => Germany => Denmark => Finland => Denmark => Germany => France (Paris, Nice, Lyon, Paris) => and… one arrived while the other one went to Brussels where it stayed for two days (in “error”) before being finally delivered 😀

    UPS was really not able to manage this correctly IMO. I did call them 3 times (once the packages arrived in France) to tell them I was in Belgium. Fortunately, I had at least a very good communication with XCase’s employees during that period.

    For memories, here is the tracking I got from Xcase for the first package:
