[Elecraft] K3 Shipping Box

[W1GO (Joe)]

James

I had to send my KPA500 (including transformer) back to Elecraft from NY.  My KPA500 was a kit so, like you, I had to figure out the best packaging.  The KPA500 is much heavier than the K3s, so if you package as has been recommended (i.e. 2 inches peanuts or bubble pack on all sides and no movement), you should be fine.  And, be sure to get the correct amount of insurance.  By the way, the packaging sent back from Elecraft had absolutely no peanuts or bubble wrap; it wasn’t needed.  The two big foam end pieces held the KPA500 rock solid in the box;  There’s no way I’m throwing that box and foam pieces away.

Good luck,

Joe
