[Elecraft] KPA1500 Caution

[Grant Youngman]

I guess we’re doing another “who’s the worst carrier” thread …

My 2 cents … I’ve never had a damaged USPS shipment (large heavy box) that wasn’t the fault of the individual that packed the box.  The same is true of UPS — although UPS was the only delivery service that rolled a large box end-over-end up the driveway, ensuring that the miserably poor packing would destroy the contents.  Sure, your precious package may get a forklift tine through it, but you can probably pick any shipper for that one.

My bet is that the KPA1500 commercial packaging it good enough that it won’t matter which carrier delivers it.

There are bad stories with all of the major delivery companies.  Everybody has at least one.  Any one of them are more than capable of ensuring you get the black bean.
