You just need to make sure that when the truck wheel finally hits, there is not just weak stuffing, but something really strong to keep it from crushing the thing in the middle. Probably adding a few layers of the cut-out cardboard would do it. (A sturdy outside carton would also help.) Gr¨¹?e, Carsten |

That is how a product should be packed.?

When I described shipping a piece of equipment to India, only to have it arrived crushed, I had chosen a new oversized corrugated box and used additional cardboard inside as well as bubble wrap to protect the contents.?In my opinion nothing could have kept the equipment safe, short of perhaps a wooden crate. I learned to warn customers in certain locations, that I would do my best, but I could not guarantee that the product would not sustain damage. In high value shipments, I also took photo of the packing. Stuart K6YAZLos Angeles, USA -----Original Message-----

I used to laugh at the way the military would pack parts and equipment for shipment, but long ago I learned the reality of how packages are handled in the real world.?

Some companies would put an inexpensive shock recorder on a package, and cautioned the customer not to open it if the box had been mishandled, beyond a reasonable amount. A shipper could always claim that the shipper hadn't properly packed an item and would deny payment for damage. I had even seen a wooden shipping crate, carrying expensive product, damaged when forklift blades had penetrated the box. Maybe an armed guard is the answer. When I worked in television, high value product would sometimes be hand-carried by an employee, on an airplane, to ensure safe and prompt delivery.
