[Coco] Benchtop Power Supply Recomendations Requested

[Steve Batson]

Yeah, I don't like UPS drop and run mentality, that's not really an Amazon Issue I don't think. Either way, I order a lot on-line from Amazon and elsewhere. I solved the drop and run problem by getting a box at the local UPS store that has a regular street address so I can have anything shipped there unlike a P.O. Box. They hold my packages safe and sound until I can go pick them up.

Usually on the way home from work.
