[R-390] How much should it cost???

[Scott, Barry (Clyde B)]

When I bought my R390A, the seller suggested using Greyhound.  The radio never left the bus from its origination point to its destination point (approximately 350 miles) and it arrived in the same condition in which it left.  I think it cost about $50 to $60.

You can even see the schedule (where it changes buses, etc.) on their website.  I think it is a very good way to go -- especially if you can find a route with minimal bus changes..

If anyone else can shed light on their experiences shipping heavy receivers via
Greyhound, I'd sure appreciate hearing. I understand that UPS uses a 'foam in
place' method that is quite effective, and there are also shippers out there
like Hank who know what they're doing(few and far between in comparison,
though). I've heard of using Greyhound or airfreight before, just never much
info.
