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

[SGS 126]

FedEx will ship R-390's home delivery.  My box is 22x22x22 and weights 86
pound.  Shipping to CA from AL is about $80 use a Heavy duty box from Home
Depot about $4 and I had dense foam cut to fit the box It gave me about 4
inches of foam all the way around and a sheet of the foam cost $28 cut, so
packing material was about $20 and FedEx shipping to CA about $80 and I
think $46 was the minimum charge.  It gets there in 2 days insured and I've
never had one with any damage at all.  I've shipped at least 10 that way.
