"Professional" Packing (not)

[w7apm]

I f someone wants to sell you something and they say they will have it "Professionaly" packed I suggest that you RUN don't walk from the deal. In other words the shipper doesn't want to take responsibility for their shipment and is probably not going to be much help if you have to file a claim for damage.
I received a Drake C-line receiver and transmitter yesterday with one layer of large bubble wrap around each and then one layer of that thin foam sheet around the two of them put in a single thin wall box and shipped!
Bent cabinets, VFO knob jammed against the front panel etc...
Just because someone is being paid to do something doesn't mean they have a clue what they are doing...
