But it's wrapped with bubble-wrap, surely that's enough, right....? ;-)
I once received a RM502 scope that was similarly packed; it was a testament to Tek's robustness that it wasn't damaged and actually worked "out of the box". -Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Kirkby" <[email protected]> To: "Discussion of precise time and frequency measurement" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, September 10, 2012 3:16:55 PM Subject: [time-nuts] Be aware of test equipment seller orzel-enterprises on eBay I hope the list admin does not mind this email, but I think it will be useful to any time nut buying test equipment from eBay. orzel-enterprises sells electronic test equipment on eBay. I would advise anyone to think twice before purchasing from him. This is how he shipped a vector network analyzer and S-parameter test set which I won on an auction for $2750. It was shipped from the USA to the UK. http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/kirkby/damaged-VNA-by-inadequate-packaging/badly-shipped-8753A-and-85046A.jpg Note the box is far too small, and so obviously both units suffered damage. He takes no reponsibility for this, and originally expected me to ship it back at my expense, and still pay the shipping charges from the USA. So I'd pay for two international shipments, as well as customs duties. After I pointed out Paypal would expect him to pay the shipping to me, he has agreed to refund the USA -> UK shipping charges, but he still expects me to pay the UK -> USA shipping costs. I object to this, since it was his total stupidity the thing not damaged. I don't see why I should pay for someone elses stupidity.
