This last point is subtle but important. Carriers do not reimburse for damage to the package. So, if your expensive case is your "packaging" - i.e. the outside layer - there will be no settlement on that. By putting it in a cardboard box, you have a greater chance of protecting your complete investment (as well as not getting locking bits damaged.) - Jim -- Jim Edgar [email protected] Cyclofiend Bicycle Photo Galleries - http://www.cyclofiend.com Current Classics - Cross Bikes Singlespeed - Working Bikes --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
