Pack it tightly with paper or plastic bubbles and, if you can fit it into the stirofoam it came in, well, you are as good as the elves in the packing company at the manufacturing plant. I wrapped mine in newspaper and plastic bubbles and place it in an NLS magazine carton and sent it ensured postal service for $53. It came back just fine!

I am a new user. Could someone explain to us new ones how to pack the BN before the important time comes. I saves my original box if thats any help. could I send it fedix through my office? This $100, you mean thats just for fedix, not including any of the repairs. Boy, this turns out to be an expensive baby. Can we pay by credit card or in installments? Thanks.

Now that we have fairly well expressed ourselves that we want and need a loan pool, I have another question. When I send in my BrailleNote for a new battery or for cleaning, it costs me over $100 just to mail it 1 way to PDH. It's not the cost of sending the packege that bites, it's the insurance. How many of you send in your BN completely insured, and how many send it Free Matter For The Blind? ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.pulsedata.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.pulsedata.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote
