[Kenwood] re: WTB: TS-940/SP-940/HC-10/S-599/MC-60 Original

   Chris,

   If  you  do  not have any luck acquiring the boxes you might check out
   the  website I listed below.  I recently mailed a Kenwood 940 half way
   around  the world following B & B shipping suggestions.  Not a problem
   at  all.  Just do what they say.  I used a fair bit of bubble wrap and
   plastic  peanuts  (from a local stationary store) and double boxed the
   radio (all wrapped up) with used computer boxes (they are very strong)
   that  I got from the recycling dumpster at the back of a CompUSA store
   (after  I  checked  with  them).   I  was  apprehensive sending it and
   waiting  the  8 weeks, but it got to NZ in fine order, just as good as
   when  I  dropped  it  off  at the post office.  I am a believer now in
   proper   packaging.   It  isn't  rocket  science,  just  follow  their
   methodolgy.  I hope this helps you.
