[R-390] Shipper Packing

[B Riches]

A heads up!!  When you purchase a piece of equipment from someone make sure that the seller agrees to refund your money if it arrives damaged due to poor packing and the Post Office or other carrier refuses to honor a claim because of poor packing.

I purchased a Tek 465 scope from a person that used shredded paper along with a very beat up carton.  The scope took a hit on the face and bent a few controls and ruined the attenuator.  The postal inspector laughed when I tried to file a damage claim.  I now have an expensive parts unit.  This person sells a bit of equipment - contact me off list if you wish more info.  Buyer beware.
