[Central-Electronics] shipping a 200V and 600L

[David Lee]

I believe the challenge is that one must either impose and rely on the 
willingness (or not) of the seller to properly pack the unit(s).
I suppose a pre-made case sent to the seller with packing instructions is a 
great option.
Picking it up directly assures baby safe handling, but of course is the 
greatest effort of all.
The recent jump in ga$ definitely has made this a less desireable option, 
too.
