Barry your article in the current issue of HSN on packing hits the nail 
square on the head. If the people that are shipping would adhere to your 
guide lines then we could use the BW for other subjects.

I make up custom 500#DW Stapled boxes for shipping the R-39XX etc. using 
polyethylene foam. and  I  have one box that has made 4 round trips to 
Ft. Worth plus 3 local RT`s and is still very serviceable. UPS says a 
500#DW RSC is good for 150 pounds.

Most guys cry like a wet baby with the price. The ones that have used 
them, love them.

REF: UPS Claims. I have lost one claim to UPS in 22 years and that lady 
has been gone for over 20 years. Be firm with a REP. not a gum chewer on 
the 800 number. Follow all of their guidelines and they will pay 
promptly out of  Ft. Worth. All claims are filed by FAX.
THE SHIPPER IS THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN FILE THE CLAIM "PERIOD"

FYI UPS NOW CONTROLS THE CRUMMY MBE PACKING  FRANCHISE  COMPANY
   
DO NOT EXPECT ANY BETTER SERVICE OR PRICING THEY ARE STILL BEHIND THE 
EIGHT BALL.
