Hi,
I pre-ordered my N7 with Staples because they have *always* delivered my products in the morning via their courier service. We have a Staples about 30mi away. Well, I see that my N7 is not being delivered by Staples Courier but by UPS. UPS is about a mile away from my home but because I'm considered a residential delivery they get to me when they get to me which is generally sometime late afternoon - in fact because I work mids and sleep 2nd shift many times my UPS packages don't arrive before 2pm and so they sit outside until 9pm'ish. Needless to say I'm not happy with this but I'm figuring they didn't ship the units to individual stores for pre-orders but instead are sending them out from a bigger more centralized location.
We are having horrendous heat/drought conditions here. The heat index is predicted to be like 120 degrees a few days this coming week. I know that heat (and dust) are a computer's worst enemy. I do plan on bringing it in and leaving it until it comes to room temp - we have air conditioning.
Should I be concerned about any damage? Any other tips/hints you have to help prevent damage from this I would love to hear. I've been trying to locate an N7 in a store close enough to go buy it so I don't have to worry about this and then just refuse the shipment but I'm not having any luck. Although Staples CS did mention they go "on sale" on the 15th so maybe I'll check there again in the morn.
Am I being paranoid? I would worry about *any* computer product in this heat not just the N7.
