[R-390] FastPack Box

[Don Reaves]

In 2003, I sold an R-389 to a collector in Spain;  he had me ship it to
Rick Mish of Miltronix for refurb before Rick shipped it on to Spain.  Rick
sent me one of his reusable FastPack boxes for shipping to Ohio.  The fast
pack was a double wall box with glued in 2 inch thick foam panels sized
exactly for the R-390 series receivers.  That was the inner box, the outer
box was a recycled Pitney Bowes machine box, again double walled, with
panels of white foam to surround the inner box.   This totaled up to be 115
pounds.  In 2003, that cost $98.76 to ship from my QTH to Rick's by UPS.
Today that shipping cost might approach a down payment on your own Boeing
747 freighter.
