With no origional packing I would wrap with 4'' of bubble wrap all the way around not just loops. I'd put that in a box with 6'' or more of peanuts around ALL sides. Pack the peanuts so when you shake the box there is no hint of movement. They should be packed so you have to put pressure on the lid to tape it shut. Do your address label in large print. Wrap the ENTIRE package with 2'' wide clear tape. All the way around. I'd put an address label like you put on letters on the radio back & whatever other parts you send. I'd use an index card with both addresses on the radio under the bubble wrap & one in the peanuts. This may cost an extra $10 for tape, peanuts and bubble wrap. If you send it USPS get a delivery confirmation & a return receipt. This is an expensive item don't skimp! I spent 32 yr.s in the postal service with my last 6 yr.s as a window clerk. I know what I speak of. I could tell a lot of horror stories so don't skimp! Please!
K9IL PS:When it returns SAVE ALL the packing!
