[Elecraft] K3 Shipping Box

[Brian Hemmis]

Hi James, It might be simpler if you are not comfortable packing & shipping gear to let the UPS or FedEx store pack and ship the radio. If they pack it “in house” and there is any damage in shipping they will cover it 100% for whatever you claim its value to be. I normally pack myself but a couple years ago I sold an Alpha amp to a man half way across the country and let them pack it in 2 boxes as I didn’t have the original boxes. I’m guessing Elecraft will ship the radio back in a proper K3 factory box.
73, Brian K3USC
