[Premium-Rx] OT - Shipping Receivers

[Steve]

Hi,

Had a local (Boston) mil-spec packing house build some plywood and foam 
boxes for R-390A. Less than $100 and robust.

My  RF-590 came in a heavy cardboard box with cut foam

see:

http://www.jillsokboxes.com/  ; mother of the reporter who wrote the gud 
BPL piece awhile back.


Possible to find surplus Hardigg boxes on egad or maybe from Mike 
Murphy; sometimes less expensive than hi-test cardboard box.

U-cut foam for above.


Have had some boxes made for shipping gear we produce; costs more than 
one might think.

73,
Steve
