Does R & L have packing services?

No, R&L is a common carrier, for packing you must use the UPS Store. They usually charge a small fortune. The last Opera they shipped to me cost me over $600, and an Idealia that I shipped from Wisconsin to Ohio about the same. Just last week I shipped a small glass horn from Wayne NJ to me in FL and they charged $75. I only use them as a last resort on inbound shipments, and never on shipments outbound from my place.

When I got my Opera, it cost me about $200 in gasoline, and $100 in Starbucks...but it was in the best possible hands the entire time!

krkey1,

Beautiful machine, awesome setup!
Congratulations.

In my experience, you can't go wrong purchasing from Raphael.
