Hello,

The last large/heavy item I had packed at the UPS store (AKA Mail Boxes 
Etc), was tossed it in a substandard box with a bunch of peanuts and it 
suffered the expected results of such packing!  They won't pack any more 
shipments that I make!

Now, on the other hand I've received some heavy items through UPS that 
were superbly packed, cut to fit foam insulation etc, and it survived well.

Just this morning I'm shipping a repaired National NC-183R back to a 
gentleman in the same shipping materials it arrived in.  Heavy duty 
U-Haul Triwall outer box and a heavy duty triwall inner box that an air 
conditioner came in.  I have no doubt  that set will arrive safely!

But I re-iterate.  If I don't feel I can pack it sufficiently well, it's 
"Pick-up only".
