I had an R390a shipped by UPS. They managed to bend the front panel. It worked but a crystal filter was bad also. They really had to drop it from a height. I put in a claim and the adjuster showed up and took pictures and left. I got a letter a couple of days later stating that the claim was denied. I called the guy who sold it to me who told me he just dropped the R390a at a UPS store for packing and shipping. They originally denied the claim as "item improperly packed" They eventually coughed up about $450.00 when they were given the proof that their UPS store had packed it. My other claims from UPS have been denied as improperly packed item. I have had better luck with Fed Ex.

The Valiant is very heavy as you all know and the NC-183 is no light weight. If I don't agree to ship it will certainly limit the possibility of selling them. What do ya'll have to say? I received both via FedEx or UPS, I don't remember now, and both were undamaged. Thanks for any input..
