My experience as well. I spent $120 for a custom FastPak
shipping box for the very few trips my R-390A will ever
make. The FastPak is the only way to go.... about 4-6" of
foam surrounds the whole radio and the inner box is about
1/2" thick and hard as plywood. The outer box is just a
"covering" and it takes the dings, dents and labels. BTW
the FastPak is designed for 50 uses. I learned about
these boxes from Rick Mish who told me he got tired of
dealing with shipping damage claims. He has them made up
for himself and uses them to ship radios worldwide.
