[Milsurplus] Packing stuff

[Tony Snider]

If you guys ever need them, I have hundreds of those milspec ready pack
boxes of all sizes, that you could safely air drop a R-390 in, they come in
two pieces and have about 6 inches of foam on all sides, and are strong
enough to stand on.  cost uncle about 125.00 ea, I have never had damage I
one of these, they cost me 10.00 ea so that what they cost you, plus
shipping and I will send them directly to your shipper if you want, the only
down side is they hit you with a dim weight charge on them due to the size
ends up being like a 30 lb minimum
