Yes, having the UPS store do the box work is OK. Since I will be moving the radios when I go on vacation, I simply bought an appropriate sized Gator case. It's a medium sized suitcase and fits the Palstar rx, ferrite rod antenna and tripod, plus the battery and power supply and associated cables. It has cut-to-size foam rubber inside and is safer than any cardboard box.
