[Elecraft] K2: Is Inventory really a necessity?

[stan levandowski]

Hello.  My name is Stan WB2LQF and I am a new lister, having just 
received my K2 kit yesterday.

My question is, "Do you folks think it is really necessary to 
detail-inventory the Elecraft  K2 product??

The packaging was impressive.  The task of a complete and detailed 
inventory looks time consuming, downright boring, and a great 
opportunity to lose/break/misplace/confuse or static-damage parts. 
Seems to me that Elecraft should be able to get it "mostly correct".  My 
thinking is that all those parts may be safer just sitting in their 
little bags until it's time to open the bag.  if it takes me "too long" 
to report a missing part and as a result Elecraft won't replace it for 
free, I won't exactly go broke buying the missing part from them.  Seems 
like a reasonable risk to offset the investment of time + the 
aforementioned risks of inventorying.

I'm a new Elecraft customer so I'm not in a position to size them up, 
although I keep hearing they are a first class outfit and I would assume 
their quality control extends to shipment accuracy.

I'd be interested in the majority opinion from Elecraft customers who've 
faced this same decision -  to inventory or not.

Thanks!
