Rick, no one ships a heavy transfomer in a cardboard box with that white strofoam. I rest my case.

The package was only 40 pounds and the packing looked more than adequate. It was double boxed with solid foam between the two boxes and between the transformer and the inner box. It was bolted to a sturdy piece of wood that would allow for no movement inside the box, which was shattered from the abuse. The way this package was treated it would have been damaged if it had been in a solid wooden box. I've done business with Gary and his packing is excellent. I received a transformer back from him a few months ago that weighed in the 20 pound range and it was packed the same as this one and made it without a scratch. The shipper is at fault here, no doubt about it. Rick/K5IAR You call that packing! No wonder it got damaged with all that inertia inside the box. Shame on you for accusing the carrier. It should have gone inside a wooden crate. Next time, if there is a next time ...
