mounting screws provided are not practical. U-shaped tinnerman nuts & sheet metal screws are a better option.

The panel dock is not a big deal. What is worthy of praise is the customer service. I arrived at the Spruce store in Peachtree City at about 5 minutes after closing, due to poor planning on my part and unpredicted traffic. The gentleman on the counter was still closing out the cash register. In spite of the fact that the lights were dimmed and the door was locked, he saw me drive up, and handed me my pre-ordered package, even though they were officially closed. This saved me several hours of time driving back and forth to Peachtree City. He is certainly worthy of praise for going the extra mile in service.
