I bought a B & O 8000 through eBay from a person in CA who took it to a UPS
store to have it "professionally packaged". That plus shipping cost about
as much as the receiver.
Needless to say, it came in damaged, poorly packed, and I filed a claim
with UPS.
They picked it up, paid the shipper more than the sale price and shipping,
and he never repaid me. UPS would not talk to me, and I couldn't even get
the damaged one back.
I do not like the local UPS store, and the people I know at the local UPS
terminal don't like it either.

On the back of that, are CRTs best shipped with the screen facing down, or
forwards? Presumably it's also wise to unplug the neck board from the CRT
and secure it. What do people do about the HV transformer? They're normally
bulky/heavy and can lack support other than the solder connections on the
PCB.
I?ve shipped tons of stuff through The UPS Store. They always do a great
job packing.
