[AMRadio] How do you ship big electronics ?

I think cushioning, cushioning, and more cushioning. is the answer. Heavy
duty thick cardboard for the first box and as much cushioning material as
possible  between it and the second box.  The HT-9 and the first box has to
have some flexibility inside of the outer box.  The outer box must be well
strapped so it won't come apart.

I had the the HT-9's predecessor, the HT-1, shipped to me about a yearor so
ago and the shipper really did a good job if he was shipping a big motor or
engine.  He had a beautiful wood pallet made and had the thing bolted down
to the pallet  with a cardboard box over the whole thing fastened to the
pallet with wood screws.  This method may have been ok for a big transformer
or generator but not a radio.  There was no give or cushioning so there was
a lot of damage.

I had it insured for what I paid for it so I was compensated, however it was
a nightmare to get that accomplished. I have some ideas on that , but thats
another story. Gud luck.
