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. Everything went FedX. I don't remember ever having a problem.
Much less experience with UPS so I don't really know except that when
something we buy comes UPS and the email warning says it will require a
signature, it's almost always just left on the porch.

I ship *everything* by the US Postal Service, and if the day ever comes that I
need to send my K3s or KPA-1500 back for service you can bet it'll be using the
post office, with original Elecraft shipping boxes and a premium shipping
method with full insurance. I ship merchandise commercially and I've found
their insurance far easier to claim on the 2 instances in 27 years that I
needed to do so than the first (and only) time I ever tried to do this with UPS
on a used/dead laptop. And they refused to pay. FedEx I wouldn't trust to pick
up a piece of litter on the ground, let alone a $6,000 amp.
