Very nice radio Ron!! Congrats!! Yes, shipping vintage radios scares th *livin daylights* out of all us restorers!! And you can bet, all the shipping trucks personnel throw all their packages around carelessly, and dont care!! Looks like you dodged a bullet on that one!! I have shipped and received many rare vintage electronics via FedEx,UPS,etc, and it always makes me nervous! I have *insured* (to full value $$) on ground-services of ALL the major carriers before, then found out all of the items considered *vintage*,*antiques*,.. would only be covered up to $100. max by the ground carriers insurance companies from the get-go! Many of FedEx & UPS desk employees never mention this, and charge (.25 extra) for every $100. above the 1st free $100. coverage on ground shipping!! RIP OFF MAX!!!
Hence, I thought that both I,.. & my customers were covered above $100 max value when shipping, (and being charged extra), ... many vintage electronic items, and the counter-personnel never told me any different!! They keep the "extra-insurance money" they charge all us, but "push comes to shove" on ground shipping, all any of us have is $100. MAX on any & all vintage, antique electronics we ship with these type services!! Didnt mean to change the subject here, but shipping vintage electronics is very *risky* at best!!! Glad your item arrived in good condition indeed!! Enjoy!!! Icon_wink
