      Surely you can order them for cheaper now? You might have to wait another week or two for the post office to do their job now, as delivering a first class parcel that for generations prior did that task anywhere in the US in 2-3 business days with rare exceptions, has now degenerated into 7 days for just 1,000 miles, or longer.

      But can’t you order one such unit from another country? Soon you might have to get on the dark web, and have them ship it to you disguised as something else from another country, by private carrier due to the aforementioned hobbling of the post office, done under a decades long assault on usps to privatize it, despite the Post being mandated in the Constitution, and operating from day one. They used to do banking accounts too, providing simple consumer banking accounts, free checking, that now are dominated by big banks.
