[Hallicrafters] Article on shipping?

[Dan Arney]

Duane,
I make custom shipping boxes and charge for them.
For the heavy BA's I use a 24x22x15 500 pound double wall stapled box 
with custom cut ethafoam, which I get %50.00 each, plus UPS shipping as 
oversize 1 which ships as 30 pounds and weighs 13 pounds. Have sold over 
50 of them and no damage.  This box does not need to be double boxed.
I now send out a ox to be used for return of any unit that I buy that 
weighs over 50 pounds. I have 3 or 4 of my boxes that have made 5 or so 
trips out and back are still serviceable.

I sell foam peanuts for packing in my business but do not use them 
myself unless the corners are protected and then as a filler only.

I only use bubble wrap for small items like tubes, mikes, but nothing 
heavy. What do you have when a bubble burst you have two thin pieces of 
plastic
