Re: Damaged radio FYI

I was going to delete this post but I thought I'd leave it up for others future reference. The post office is NOT the way to ship parts that can be damaged in shipping. In addition to this radio they damaged an AC plenimum they crushed it. If your are the seller or the buyer your best bet is to take it to The UPS Store (or like packaging outfit) to have the item properly packaged and shipped insured. In both cases the items I bought were packaged well by the seller under normal care conditions, but not well enough to withstand the abuse the Post Office can deliver. YES this will cost more but as you can see in the photos the radio is now junk and useless. ANY parts I buy in the future and have shipped I will request UPS packaging and shipment.

Re: Damaged radio

I guess it's just the luck of the draw. I have shipped with USPS and UPS/FedEx for years and have had no damaged items from either.

A good crossthread is better than Loctite any day.

Life is not about what you have, but who you have to share it with.
