[Phono-L] Avoid UPS Ground for heavy or large phono items

[Mike Stitt]

The Snap on dealer has his tools ship to our shop. If it is a new UPS driver
after he sits them down I go over and kick the box over. I ask him, didn't
you go to UPS school? Kick that stuff around. They rush these guys, they are
not careful. Steven was the motor still bolted to the bedpalate? Oh the
driver, they get the point. Can't hurt wrenches.
