[AMRadio] Tube Shipping Question

[Mark K3MSB]

Guys --

Thanks for the comments over the past few days.   The next time I ever ship
big tubes I may well consider Greyhound or a direct freight method.

It looks like my "saga" is over.    There were certain interesting and
concerning "issues" with the buyers assertions.  Fortunately, my packer had
surveillance video of me dropping off the tubes and amplifier, as well as
video of them packing everything up.   This greatly aided resolution of any
issues.
