[R-390] R-390 Digest, Vol 83, Issue 10

[Bruno Ortega]

Hello to the list, from Europe!
I have a lot experience in import Boatanchors, but from the US to Europe. If 
you want import from Poland, may be an EKD receiver? If yes, there is a very 
heavy radio (25 kgs), and in Poland, people not used to packaged well...I 
know by experience....A heavy radio must be packaged very well, in double 
box, in order to avoid damages. My two EKD's arrives damaged by blows, to a 
bad package.
In my experience importing heavy radios, the best way is FEDEX. You must 
find someone who has an account with them. So, shipping are cheaper
I remember, my R-390A was shipping by a friend with account in FEDEX, cost 
about US$ 400. Same cost had this year to ship a panadaptopr BD-1031C that 
Rick Mish sent to me in a monster box by Express Mail International (was 
more cheaper than FEDEX).
I don't know what companies shipping from Poland to the US, but another well 
option would be sending palletized, by Air Freight Cargo (UPS has a service 
UPS AIR FREIGHT DIRECT (This can be door-to door or airport-to airport); 
also DB 
Schenker(http://www.dbschenker.com/site/logistics/dbschenker/com/en/start.html) 
may be AIRPORT-TO AIRPORT.
I hope to help something. Good luck!
