But yes, shipping heavy units is tough to do right. So far I've had: A Tektronix scope and an Agilent scope shipped to me with less than 1 inch of simple "pellets" on all sides. The pellets were crushed of course, and both scope's protruded through the packaging when I got the disasters at my door. Same happened to a big scope we had sent to our work ($50K new, and they spent $5 on packaging). A total of four units damaged so far. And UPS/Fedex/USPS don't feel responsible due to incorrect packaging. Don't know why it's so difficult for folks to overpack. Worst case, one can have it professionally packed at MailBoxes etc. or the like. bye, Said ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list time-nuts@febo.com https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts
