Buying electronics in Kingston
Kingston sits where the lake becomes the river and was briefly the country’s capital, which is why the limestone public buildings are grander than the population would suggest. It has a major university, a military college and a long institutional history, and the waterfront is central to how the city works.
Screens and drives are exactly what a courier damages, and proving where the harm happened afterwards is close to impossible. Taking delivery yourself removes both the risk and the argument that follows it.
What to check in person
