[Elecraft] Elecraft UPS deliveries

[Gerry Hull]

Slava,

Yes, I was frustrated by how slow UPS ground was getting my K3/0 Mini!  But
I have it now, and it works great, and the frustration is gone.
I also have Amazon Prime, and two day is not always two day.  When it's
not, their is no recourse.  Also, if you pay extra $3.99 or whatever for
Amazon 1-day, and they don't deliver, there is no refund.

I get mad because I'm rural, and the local UPS guy lives close to me -- so,
UPS always says my shipment has been delayed by weather, and the packages
end up coming 8 or 9pm at night --- because the driver wants to deliver
them on the way home.

USPS Priority Small, Medium or Large flat-rate shipping is the best deal in
the country for 2-3 day shipping.  I sent my K3 back for repair in a large
flat-rate box.   No problems.   Also, if you have an ebay account, you can
buy and print USPS labels for 20% off.

73, Gerry W1VE
