This topic probably worn out. I ran a small ham radio business and
used USPS to domestic and international destinations with good
results (most of the time). There was one shipment to the UK that
was sent to Canada, and another to Germany was fowarded by funkpost
to Saudia Arabia (fortunately was returned after a week to Germany
for deliver in-country).
Main reason to chose USPS Priority Mail was cost. UPS/FedEX
typically charge 150% what it costs with USPS. But funny thing is
seeing the UPS or FedEx trucks show up to deliver the US Mail to/from
our local PO.
BTW overnight to AK takes 2-days; 2-day delivery is always 3-days,
etc. Deliveries only make it on-time to the Anchorage Airport depot;
takes another day for delivery by truck (even to Anchorage addresses).
I'm no longer in-business. WA2ODO-Pete Manfre quit making preamps
last July. I stopped making DEMI kits and W6PQL amp kits a couple years ago.
Hope everyone is having a pleasant and joyous holiday. Maybe the K4
will arrive by Valentines?? I'm happy with my upgraded K3/10, KX3,
and KXPA100. Bucket truck is scheduled to work on my 6m-eme array
after the holidays (getting new rotator, digital encoder, and thrust bearing).
