[Heathkit] shipping.. an old sore spot

[john]

There's nothing more frustrating.

I've probably shipped 50 radios and I've never had a complaint. I always 
pack with care and double box.

Sorry to hear about your loss. I'm getting a set of headers for a "project 
car" and I'm trying bus freight. It's 30% the cost of UPS , Fedex or USPS. 
We'll see how it works
