Identifiying the contents as an R/C aircraft, and plastering with fragile - Handle with Care stickers is an open invitation to punitive damage. I avoid UPS because they gouge at the border. I use the Canada/US postal service as much as possible. The few claims I have had, UPS, FEDEX, or

John brings up a key point, exactly how you classify your model. Model glider actually has no duties associated with it through NAFTA. John Derstine wrote: I don't know were you get this, I have a FED EX account and have never heard of this, I ship almost exclusively Fed Ex for models 5 meter

We should also consider the positive effects that a team selection has on the local area. It serves to raise the interest in the local soaring community in raising their skills to the national level, and it serves as a recruitment vehicle to the hobby. The latter effect is maybe not huge,

It has been called to my attention that the referenced article does not address incidence. I have added a paragraph to address that issue and hope that it makes the article more informative. Hope this helps. Rick At 08:14 AM 9/16/2004 -0400, Rick Eckel wrote: Hi, For the long answer to your

Well, as I said pack THEM PROPERLY, and you will minimize the chance of damage, there is no luck involved with settling claims, it may help to have an account with the shipper, but this is conjecture. Wrapping in cardboard is not going to do it, if you want cheap freight rates, and everyone does,

The only caveate to this is that the Soaring NATS are very close to this date - generally the last week of July or the first week of August. Also since this is a selection year - the NATS is running F3J again at that time. Jim --- mark browning [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: How about having the

John, I don't know much about the American psyche, but it's pretty normal to want the lowest price possible, we're the same way up here in Canada. We shouldn't be expected to have to encase our planes in stainless steel boxes to eliminate shipping damage. That's an obvious overstatement, but my
