Ken:
I recently sent my R5 the 3000 miles to Kinderman via Canada Post with great
success. I packed it in that Bubble-pack plastic sheeting, till I had at
least 3" of bubble-pack on all sides of the body. In a sturdy cardboard box,
and crumpled paper to take up any slack space - it arrived just fine. Just
be *sure* to ask them to send it back packed the same way!!!
