[Elecraft] UPS has lost my KX3 :-(

[Jack West]

An UPS story:

Some years ago, I sent my TS-940 transceiver to the
Kenwood repair facillity in California (from here in
western Washington). Kenwood repaired it in a timely
fashion. It was shipped back to me via UPS. UPS dropped
it, smashing in the left rear corner about 1 1/2 inches
as it is heavy, weighing in around 54 lbs. I had to
argue with a high level UPS manager in Seattle to finally get them to pay for a 
return trip to California and an ultimate re-repair.

After a lot of arguing UPS agreed to pay. I did not get
my radio back until a few days past ONE YEAR had passed.
However the radio once again worked perfectly and it looked like they put it in a 
new case. (the serial
number is still the same)

UPS is very, very good at their business. Bet you have it tomorrow!
Imagaine how surprised the other person is that they received a radio and not 
clothing!

God Bless & Best 73!

Hi,

Since I received my UPS tracking code last week I have been following the
parcel's track through the US, arriving in Germany and then going through
Denmark and Sweden before arriving in Oslo, Norway yesterday. The expected
delivery was next Monday before the end of the day. However, today the
postman arrived with a big parcel from UPS with my name, address and the
correct UPS tracking code for my KX3 shipment. I hurried inside to open the
box and almost had a heart attack. The box is full with clothes. I have got
the wrong box and somebody else has got my KX3, :-(

UPS says there must have been a mix of two or more shipments along the way.
They will send me a new address labels for the box I have received and I
hope they manage to trace the person who has got mine.

A long wait just became even longer.

73's from a sad ham,
Frode, LA2RL
