check the terms and shipping costs on this receiver.

he claims if there is any damage you need to make an insurance claim.
look at what he charges. $29 for UPS and then wants an additional
$3.50 for insurance. world class rip off. insurance should be included
at that price which is already too high.

he is pushing the limit on cheating people. saying that if he lied and
manipulatd the photos you have to take it up with UPS !!! what he
doesn't tell you is that UPS will take the radio from you and give it
back to radio-mart and only deal with HIM

and of course if it doesn't work he won't cover that !!!!!


Mr. Allison has come back more crooked than before

I'm not defending this guy, but the $29 charge is possibly not unreasonable.

I recently sent a Drake R8B to WA state and it cost $28. Reason being was that I
double boxed it, packed very well. The box turned out to be oversized according to
UPS.

I made the mistake of only charging $18 to ship, but I'll not make the same mistake
again.

I would almost expect shipping charges on everything to increase as fuel prices go
up.

I've found Fedex ground is less expensive than UPS for shipping radios. They seem to have the best tracking system too.

I discovered this a while back when I bought a 70 pound Applied Communications SR-2150 and the seller offered me a choice. I think Fedex was just over half the price of UPS on that one.

A 2u rack mount Watkins Johnson VHF radio that weighs about 20 pounds when packed up will cost about $20 to ship from CT to CA.

Shipping with Fedex got easier for me when they bought Kinko's.

yes, fedex is quite cheap. you prices you quoted are what I expect to
see.
that is why I get annoyed at way high shipping costs.

one guy on ebay wants $35 HANDLING CHARGE for a heathkit receiver.
take him off my list of people to buy from.
