[Milsurplus] RAK RAL Shipping

[COURYHOUSE at aol.com]

I have one  guy at the  fed x  I trust to pack stuff...  if  he is not 
there  I came  back another day!!
 
I had a ww1 western electric cw 938 ?  sub chaser   transceiver  from  ww1  
that weighed 60  lns... that   was  extra to our needs and needed  
cleaning.  He  built  a  box out of another one and  really  padded the   thing  
in...  wonderful  work... was better tan me  horsing  around a  60 lb  thing to 
pack... 
 
You find the right  people   you  do  well.
 
... or as  Firesign Theatre stated in 
"The Further Adventures Of Nick Danger" -inferior  people  should not be 
employed...
 
In Fed X and  UPS  stores  have  seen   things  dropped  while  packing 
etc...  and  the employee   just  sortta  shrugs picks the object up and SLAPS  
it onto the packing table. 
 
Know  your  packer and  you will do  well....

The only time I ever took anything to UPS (Universal Package  Smashers) to 
pack and ship, 
it was ruined in shipping due to the poor  packing. And their "insurance" 
was a joke.

Ever since that incident,  I've packed everything by myself that I've 
shipped, and not one 
single  thing has been damaged in shipping.

YMMV
