APH Networks: be quiet! Dark Base Pro 900 rev. 2 Review
I recently decided it was time for me to sign up for Amazon Prime. In the past, most of the items from Amazon were shipped to my place with Intelcom Express or Canada Post, and they have always found my house with no issue. However, it seems like Amazon is now shipping directly with their own carriers. As such, when I recently ordered a bread knife, I was surprised to get a phone call on the day of my supposed delivery. The delivery person had called to ask me where my house was. I decided to open my front door and look outside for him, but I could not spot him. I tried to give him directions and he said he would drive around the area. It was only a few minutes later when he called back, realizing he was actually in Airdrie instead of Calgary. Just so you know, Airdrie is located 25km or 15 miles north of where I reside. As such, the driver said he would have to bring it back to the processing area and I would get my package tomorrow. The next day rolled around and I got another phone call from another driver asking me where my house was. I jokingly responded by wondering if he was in Airdrie and he immediately realized the mistake once again. I ended up calling Amazon's customer service to help them direct future drivers to my house, but this whole back-and-forth was truly surprising. I would have thought such a large company like Amazon would have the right logistics to determine my house location, or at least be in the right city. I think it just goes to show that bigger is not always better. However, when be quiet! asked us if we would review their largest case, the Dark Base Pro 900 rev. 2, I was more than excited. This case is one of the largest cases I have taken a look at, but can this case keep the sentiment of bigger being better? Let us read on to find out!
