[Milsurplus] RAK RAL Shipping

[Kenneth G. Gordon]

Hue:

I have used FedEx GROUND almost exclusively for many years when shipping stuff I sold 
on eBay. Their rates are lower and in my experience, they are far more careful of the stuff 
you ship. I have never had anything I shipped by them ever been damaged.

Here, FedEx GROUND drives right past our home every day. They have delivered several 
items to me here, and have picked up items for shipping from here, and I have never heard 
anything about which FedEx "department" dellivers to your door and which won't. It never 
became an issue.

I have shipped R-390s, R-389, SP-600, RAL, SRR-11, etc, using their services. None have 
ever been damaged.
