I had a similar discussion with 

Art Tolda ( VE3UTT )
2 TORONTO STREET - SUITE 207
TORONTO, ON M5C 2B5
CANADA.

regarding a military T-368 transmitter.  He assured me it would be double
boxed for a safe trip.  I then reminded him it weighed 600+ pounds.  At the
same time I received an email from England giving me the same exact ad.
Very humerous.

Vr,
