[R-390] Info on Shipping R-390As via FedEx Ground

[Llgpt at aol.com]

Several years ago, I bought one of the John R. Leary SP-600's from a Dr. in  
South Dakota, he had it foamed in place at his local ups center. I have 
checked  periodically over the years to see if that service is being offered. No 
luck  yet. You would think it would be a benefit to them to install the equipment 
and  offer the service, as it would be a profit maker for them.

There  are some UPS centers that do packing and have sturdy 
double-wall cartons  that say UPS on them.  They also do in-place foam with 
double  boxing.  But, if you call the 800 number, the reps know nothing about 
 
it.  Not all of them do it, but it is an alternative and I think they  do it 
while you wait.  To find out, you have to visit or somehow get  the phone 
number of the local depot.  Two sellers have shipped me  gear this way - one 
in the Orlando area.

The UPS Stores have this  commercial -- which I haven't seen in a while --  
where they're  promoted as the packing experts .. I think it showed them 
crating a  grandfather's clock. Yeah, right.
