There are actually pros to it if you consider the higher price tag acceptable.
For instance I work away so all my parts that turn up on different days would have been stored at a sorting office. That fragile sticker doesn't mean shit to most people, my warranty is dealt with in 1 place, they collect the faulty item and replace it with new if it's under 12 months means no down time.
Yea it cost me more but with the hours I work it was a much simpler solution.
