Re: KXV3A upgrade - shipping weight

[Johnny Siu]

Hello Group,
 
I find the shipping weight of KXV3A is 1.5 lb.  I trust there must be some wrong calculation.  I suppose the tiny KXV3A can be shipped in a bubble envelope, can't it?  The shipping cost of the KXV3A upgrade is in fact the same as the upgrade itself.
 
In the past, I picked up the wrong shipping weight calculation of the mini modules and advised elecraft accordingly.

USPO priority mail looks a lot cheaper?

Hi Johnny,

Actually, that's the same weight as the regular KXV3 has been listed at
on the web form for a couple of years. I've reduced both to 1 lb, which
covers the 2 board set and the packaging.

We can't ship any PC boards, and especially the L shaped 2 board set of
the KXV3a, in a padded envelope. The boards will be easily damaged that
way. We use a very small cardboard box to ship items like this.

73, Eric
