Hi Eric.
I'm sure there's no need to apologise, but actually it's Scott (the OP)
who wanted to transport a rig, not me.
My comment was merely to illustrate that Scott's request was unlikely to
be fulfilled and certainly was not a complaint.
I fully accept your reasons for not transporting customers' goods to and
from Dayton and I'm quite happy with the current arrangement I have for
collecting my Elecraft order.
On my own behalf, thank you for your attention, which is one of the
reasons I'm glad that I use Elecraft products.

Hi Alan,
I apologize, but we are unable to receive products for service at the
show. In addition to the chance for loss or damage to your radio there
in the commotion of the show, we're maxed out just keeping up with the
regular show sales and demos. We are also limited in what we can hand
carry back with us on the plane to CA.
Also, anyone planning a service return needs to first contact our
sales or support group and have them issue you a 'return service
authorization' (RSA) form and number along with shipping info to the
factory etc. That's the only way we can guarantee that we will be able
receive it properly to track it, handle it properly, get it completed
quickly and back to you. (I apologize if you have already done that
step :-)
If you are hand carrying it with you from the U.K., one solution might
be to post it via UPS to us from a local UPS store' in Dayton. There
are a number of these there and also in some of the local office
supply stores. Of course, make sure to contact us first to get the
RSA form and number.

Almost certainly not.
I wanted them to carry some parts to Dayton for collection, but they
can't do that. I can't see them doing it in 'reverse' either.
I'm having parts shipped to a friend who will then deliver to another
friend at Dayton, who will carry them back to the UK.

Hello to the list,
I'm getting ready to send my K3 off to Elecraft for some updates. Does
anyone know if it would be possible for me to drop the radio off to them
at Dayton, saving $50 shipping? The better question might be has anyone
actually done this?
