shipping a manifold

It might get broken and it might break a toe or two? The box is double thick and when you cut the box the way I did you get four layers on the sides. Put the extra cardboard inside the box to keep it from shifting. It arrived just as I had sent it.

You ever see a nice piece of electronics that was dropped --on the corner, say--that was otherwise "properly packed" in a single box? Here is what infuriates me. Packages do not get dropped, mangled, damaged on airplanes or trucks. They get that way from the gorillas on the loading docks THROWING packages. Sometimes, it's the ape on the delivery truck THROWING packages.

You know what an Eimac 8877 is? Look it up. I once shipped one from a local small town where my Mom lived, because I was there. This girl takes it, does whatever she does for checkin, and then threw it over 15' into a bin. That tube at the time was worth 400-600 bucks used. New I don't remember. Lots. Over a grand.
