[Icom] UPS and Icom interface !

Tue, 20 May 2003 09:01:23 -0400

My understanding is with electronic components insurance is only valid 
if the equipment is packaged in the manufacturer's original packing 
(box, foam inserts, etc.).  Even then it should be double boxed with 
insulation.  Been told this by UPS directly.
