[Hallicrafters] Hallicrafters Digest, Vol 118, Issue 7

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

More times than not, it all comes down to how well the shipper pack the 
contents of said box.

I have shipped items for thirty years and UPS has the best track record for 
me by far. I had two water sensitive items left outside in the rain by FedX 
the past two weeks. They could have left the boxes on the covered front 
porch, why they did not, who knows! UPS does not leave it if I, or someone, 
does not answer the door. They bring it back.

It is a fair amount of work on the shipper's part to pack an outbound box 
properly. If it weighs over sixty pounds it also can get costly.

I had a local box manufacturing company make me two dozen commercial 
shipping boxes with a burst strength of 275+ pounds. They truly had double 
walls.

It was much more expensive than just using any old cardboard box that was 
handy, but I rarely had an item damaged during shipping either.

Why buy an expensive product and then complain about it getting damaged 
during shipping because it cost forty bucks, or whatever, to ship it!
