[Elecraft] Shipping a K3

USPS Priority Mail is definitely a bargain coupled with 2 to 3 day delivery.
I ship most of my repair work via USPS Priority Mail.  It is just a bit 
more than USP Ground, but much less than UPS 2nd day or 3 Day Select.  
Delivery is dependable unless there is a local problem at the receiving 
end.  I have shipped over 500 completed repairs that way.

Only one caveat - if the package is large (more than 12 inches in any 
one dimension), there is a large parcel surcharge, and it varies by 
size.  If the package is more than 14 inches in any dimension, I usually 
opt for UPS Ground which is usually a lower cost.
