[Elecraft] Shipping. K3

[Richard Solomon]

I expect, that like YAESU, Elecraft self-insures, ergo the lower 
shipping cost.
Insurance is quite profitable to most carriers, especially since they will
fight you for every dollar !!

When I took it to the UPS shipper here, he had to call UPS  for special instructions since the declared valued was so high. I had it packed in the box Elecraft sent it back to me the last time I sent it in. UPS made me take it home and double box it. The cost to ship it UpS ground from TX was $78. It's on its way back to me now, I am sure in the single box with foam padding from Elecraft and the cost is in the mid $30 range. I'm not sure if it's the insurance or what but it's a big difference in both packaging and cost.
