Looks like it may cause trouble for the Rigs that we ship. Kent --------------E9C12531FE4BB23DEBF60BC6 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; name="ups.txt" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline; filename="ups.txt" Msg #1714 From: K2WE Date: 4-Nov 1445Z Subj: New UPS Shipping Rules Starting this past monday, UPS will not accept any electronic item for shipping unless it's in it's original box and that box is packed within a larger box so there is at least 6" of space around the item. They are asking that any box with electronic items be brought in open so theycan inspect it.. It seems they have been paying out too many claims for damage when they feel the package was not packed correctly.. Guess it will be kinda hard to ship a 30 year old piece of gear when the original box has turned to dust from old age.. I was at UPS yesterday and saw them turn away about 6 people because of the way they had there stuff packed... Be warned.. If your shipping gear, pack it right the first time.. or you'll be bringing it home with you.. 73.. Steve/k2WE --------------E9C12531FE4BB23DEBF60BC6-- --------------5C015343C80--
