[R-390] Re: Shipping R-390s

[Bill Marx]

Me Too! FedEx is my shipping company for heavy items. The US Postal service
is great for light items under 10 pounds but FedEx Ground works great for
me.

My packing style is similar to Barry's. Leave nothing to chance. Assume the
shipper will throw your box several feet. If you do not feel confident about
your radio surviving that toss, then revise your shipping techniques.
Several inches of foam around your radio in a box and then inside another
box with several inches of foam. I use foam insulation material purchased at
Home Depot but there are several kinds.
