... and I'm dead chuffed!
First impressions - it was VERY well packaged in a corrugated cardboard box with a wooden base, all wrapped in clingfilm. Inside, the box was fully lined with polystyrene. The machine itself was wrapped in clingfilm and bubblewrap, with polystyrene taped around the switches etc and extra polystyrene taped on to take up any gaps between the machine and the box. Any remaining small gaps were filled with cardboard. The wheels were supplied loose inside the case (wrapped in bubble wrap), along with the earth return lead. Portamig have obviously been listening to the issues raised on this forum as there is absolutely no damage that I can find so far, not even a scratch on the paintwork.
Torch and regulator came direct from Weldequip, and were accompanied by some complimentary 0.6 and 0.8 tips, and a can of anti-spatter (didn't know he'd seen my welding).
I probably wont get chance to use it this weekend, but as soon as I do I'll post my thoughts on performance etc.
Thanks Weldequip - great machine and great service.
