[R-390] Shipping R-390A...

[Bob kb8tq]

Hi

Both UPS and FedEx now claim they will ship up to 150 pound packages. Their dimensional 
specs are the same as well. Many years ago there were some differences between what each
would handle. 

If you are shipping international, always check the exact details for where the box is going. The
costs will always be high, but there also may be a few surprises as well ….

In terms of who is best, I’ve had them all destroy boxes. I’ve also had them all do a fine job 
delivering identical boxes on other occasions.
