[Elecraft] Shipping a K3

[Rick Dettinger]

If you pack it, the USPS will advise when you go to the Post Office.
I think its called Priority Mail these days.
Double packing is a good idea.
I have purchased boxes from shipping supply stores.  They also have packing material if you haven't saved any.  USPS doesn't want any other writing on the boxes.  It confuses the computer.
