[Hallicrafters] Addenda to shipping and packing Halli's

[Mike Smout]

The SX-28 that was delivered damaged yesterday was the third boat anchor that I've purchased on-line. The first two that I picked up off eBay, a SX-25 and a S20-R were both packed the way that I suggested to the seller. That was, bubble wrap the radio, set in a bed of peanuts, in a box, tape well, suspend in a second box of peanuts creating a two inch cushion between inner and outer boxes. This worked well, or was it because USPS Priority Mail was the answer. Sadly, USPS does not accept anything over 70 pounds and this tipped the scales at 86. I don't know, but I suspect that the USPS workers put a lot more pride into their work than their counterparts at UPS.
