One semi-related warning:
Avoid DHL.
I ordered a piece of furniture from Italy, which included a glass-top table.
It arrived in a wooden crate, which looked perfect from the outside, but the
glass was totally shattered inside. They mist have dropped it on its edge
from a good height, or dropped
I learned an expensive lesson when I shipped my K3 back for service:
Never ship from a UPS "Store", unless you prepay online. The store
charged me about double the online price, with some excuse about using a
different insurance company. You can, however, prepay online and just
drop it off at

I do, too., usually. Except this time. UPS — a little under $100, maximum
insurance, ground. USPS — almost $170 (Priority). UPS 3-day was around $225.
The differences would have cut way too far into the IPA budget item. You have
to prioritize somewhere :-)

With UPS, if you go on-line and fill out the information and print the
shipping label, you can give it to any UPS driver. If the value is
$1000 or more, the driver will have to sign your receipt.
Less than $1000, you can drop it off at
Interesting thread. Back when we had lots of troops in Iraq, my wife
and I adopted some and sent them packages. ["Pay it Forward" ... my
combat team and I got many in SE Asia from strangers]. They had to go
USPS Priority, every one made it. OTOH, my employer had a contract with
FedX.

I don’t know what the other guys do. But this has apparently been a UPS policy
since February for packages delivered to the Service Center. Didn’t know
about it of course, and don’t think there was any kind of warning on the
website. Maybe just missed the announcement. I seem to recall
Never had a problem like that at UPS, and I’ve shipped many high value items
with them. I did have a problem like that, but not as severe, at FedEx once.
They opened the box because I said the value was about $4000.00. They had to
insure the packing was sufficient. I’ve avoided them for
I just took mine to the authorized Fed-X shipping store and let them deal with
it. No hassles. Less expensive than UPS and faster service.

The thread started by the gentleman who thought his KX2 might be dead and
needed to go to Elecraft motivated me to make this comment about shipping.
For several good reasons, I just sent my K3 to Elecraft for service for the
first time ever. Insured, double boxed, expensive Uline 3” plank foam
