[R-390] 390a shipping methods

[Tim Shoppa]

I have never shipped one outbound myself.

But the yellow striper I got from Fair Radio came in:

A single big stiff cardboard box.

And was padded with... NEWSPAPER.

And was shipped as an extra-heavy package through UPS.

I think one tube rattled loose in shipment and was pulverized,
and some other tube let its vacuum out (possibly being the
target of the loose tube). But the radio came through fine.
My UPS delivery guy saw the stickers that Fair Radio had
put on and treated it with kid gloves all the way from the truck
to my front porch. I can't guarantee that all UPS guys are
as conscientous.

Of course, this was a pretty ratty yellow striper to begin with.

Tim.
