[Boatanchors] Packaging

[JOE]

I think that some people just don't realize what packing is required when a 
radio is shipped.  I recently received a radio that I requested "double 
boxed" but did not specify the packing material.  The radio was double 
boxed, but the packing material was old cardboard and plastic shopping 
bags.  (The kind you get at the supermarket).  Now, if you have ever taken 
one of these bags and compressed them in your hand, they compress down to 
nothing.  Fortunately, the radio can thru with only a dent in the back 
cover that I can fix.  I don't think these things are done intentionally, 
just some people don't know.
