Delivery

Okay, the abstinence for soldering got unbarable, so I ordered an
additional band module for 80 and 40 meters for my little K1. While at it, I also ordered some extra headphone jacks to have handy just in case.. Delivery was prompt and just as I wanted. No complaints what so ever! Elecraft rules!!! But really! I got four small bags in an ENORMOUS box marked "Express Mail", which for the most part contained those anoying small white "pillows" that you will find just about anywere in your appartment after you have opened the box! Haven't those folks at Elecraft heard of global warming, ecology, the pingwins, Al Gore, ECO Shoes and being nice to your neighbours dog? Why can't they send such things in just a simple padded envelope? Why? Why? Why!? Håkan /SM6EQO http://hem.bredband.net/b101180/ PS. Not to forget! The GACW Contest is coming up! They like CW and QRP veerrry mucho down there! http://gacw.no-ip.org/ _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Padded envelopes don't protect the contents very
well. If the contents get smashed the customer is not happy, the vendor is not happy, and everyone has to wait and it costs more money. Elecraft is wise.

Terrible Dave, terrible!
Shootings in the streets, driving around with bulldozers in the postoffices of yours, hurricanes, ice storms and no real padded envelopes. How can you live over there?! 73 de Håkan / SM6EQO http://hem.bredband.net/b101180/ ---------------------------------- dave skrev: > Hakan, > > I ordered some repair parts once.

He'll get his K3 kits 2 days before we do - so that's a big advantage of
living on the other side of the pond :-) Simon Brown, HB9DRV ----- Original Message ----- From: "Håkan Olsson" <[hidden email]> > Terrible Dave, terrible! > Shootings in the streets, driving around with bulldozers in the > postoffices of yours, hurricanes, ice storms and no real padded envelopes. > How can you live over there?! _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

I would have thought that loose fill was theoretically more environmentally friendly, because you can re-use it, whereas businesses won't normally re-use padded envelope, and their composite structure means you cannot economically separate the plastic and paper components for recycling. I suspect a lot of loose fill is wasted, because there tend to be net consumers and net users and there isn't a mechanism to get it back from consumer to user. > Why can't they send such things in just a simple padded envelope? They can do, as I got some missing parts that way. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
