    I could do with ordering a MI Box S and a router but its not vital.

    What are the views of users here on whether it is ethical to do so as there is no way of knowing whether working conditions are safe for the couriers delivering.

    Thanks

    I'd suggest it's actually better that you order as it keeps those same couriers employed in a job which I'd imagine there's not otherwise much security in.

    Besides, any deliveries I've had are just handed over at distance at the door without a signature needed , or left on the ground and they knock so are already halfway back into the van again by the time I get to the door.

    Buy what you want to. The main issue is likely to be increased delivery times that's all.
