Subject: Packing A Boatanchor For Shipping
From: David Stinson Date: 12/3/2004 1:06 PM Central Standard Time Message-id: PO2sd.83$3T2.71@trnddc04 Mike Andrews wrote: Yes, it's overkill. I figure that overkill when shipping boatanchors is just about right. Not many people will happily agree to the $35 worth of "overkill" you just defined. Sounds stupid to balk at $35 to protect a $300 radio, but you'd be surprised how many people do just that. I bought a SP-600JX-17 several years ago, the fellow shipped it from Michigan in a box that just fit it. Out 4 sheets of newspaper on the bottom, same on top and sealed it with tape. Someone was looking over this dufus, 'cause it arrived unscathed. It was a 23XXX serial no. JX-17 with ceramic disc caps and was beautiful. The luck of the Irish or something prevailed on that one.
