Re: KPA1500

Hi Bill,

We ship the RF deck and Power Supply in two individual inner boxes that are then packed with special foam corner inserts into a larger outside shipping box. The foam inserts, air gap and the outer box provide the extra protection needed for shipping via UPS etc. We lose that protection if we ship it using just the two inner boxes on their own.

The easiest thing I would suggest is to simply open the top of the outer box upon receipt and then easily remove the lighter two inner boxes separately to move it. They lift out very easily.

Regards,

Eric

Re: KPA1500

Eric, Thank you for the response. I was looking at the issue of going an additional direction when it arrives. I understand the packaging and was more interested in if it could be shipped in two cartons and you have clearly answered that. Others have "delicately" pointed out all the possibilities including a reference to me being a man. That one really was silly. I can manage. I only asked for a simple answer and you gave it straightforward. I will probably order within the next week or so as I am creating the funds as I type.

72 & 73,
Bill

Additional direction = leaving the shack. No more explanations needed.
