[Electronics-talk] Microwave/transporting equipment to berepaired

[Jacob Struiksma]

You can get for lower price.  I got new microwave this month from Costco for
$70.00 is nice big works great!   I had to have my brother help me put
Braille dido tape labels on the microwave so I could use it.

Just spend $100 and purchase a new microwave.

of sense when you can buy a new microwave for under $100.

the form on their website that allows you to enter the dimensions of the
item and weight.  They will let you know how much the cost will be to ship.
Then if you want, you can proceed and print the shipping label to attach to
the package that is being picked up.

only.  Since we could not drive out of state, we contacted the seller and
UPS and had the package picked up form their location.  It was much more
affordable that I would have thought.  Just a suggestion.  Hope this helps.
