John,
That is how I acquired my T4! About 10 years ago when I lived in rural
Virginia I sent a used OM 4 I had purchased from KEH off to John H because
of a viewfinder display that had gone whacky. He sent it back by UPS. They
left it on my front porch while I was away for a few days. About two months
later, thanks to John, I had a new 4t show up. This time it was hand
delivered!
UPS, Fed Ex, etc. still leave things outside my workplace or at the wrong
building. That is why I have them sent to my home.
