Amateur Ham Radio Repair/Alignment

Shipping notes:

Please understand that your equipment will be tossed around considerably on it's way here. Pack it accordingly! Insure it for what it will cost to replace it. The idea is to not have to file a claim.

I suggest you read the instructions on the carriers website about what they consider proper packing. Improper packing materials will result in denial of insurance claims.

Usually, we ship on Friday.

Crumpled newspaper doesn't work.

Old sweaters don't work.

DO NOT USE FOAM PEANUTS.

Low density foam (look like colored Cheetos) are useless above 10 oz.

Anything over 8 lbs - peanuts and popcorn foam will crumble up and get into the rig and especially switches, fans and motors.

DO NOT USE THESE!!!

If it can move inside the box - it will. When it stops, parts of it will keep moving.

Keep the boxes and what's inside them when you buy your equipment. It will survive the adventure across the country. It made it from Japan......

Always include a detailed description of the problem - which modes, which bands, after it's warm, only when Jerry Seinfeld is on TV.....

Any previous repair history could save me some time and you money. If someone tried to fix it and failed - I need to know that.

Include complete contact info. Call sign, email address, address & phone.

Ask if you need to send the power cord or mic. MOST TIMES I DON'T NEED IT.

I only ship via USPS. It may take a day or 2 longer but I have NEVER had to file a damage claim. I do not have a UPS or FEDEX shipping account. If you need it shipped thru one of them - send a prepaid label. These carriers do not come here often. Therefore, It may take a while before they are picked up.

We usually ship on Friday!

You will get the tracking number from Stamps.com. Don't let it go to spam or junk folders.
