New Box Design For the K5-8

Well, it's a new box for what I'm used to. I've ordered a fair few Qanshengs and the box is always the same. More compact, all brown, and fatter. This box is different. The inner tray plastic is also different. It's clear and seems a bit tougher. I've seen many people, most of them probably resellers of these radios complain about the inner tray arriving damaged from transit / customs etc. They have to travel far and wide all over the world. Maybe this new box will be better. Mine arrived undamaged, so yep, looks promising. And inside is less crammed.

I was going to order a K5 (99). Some call it the K6 I think. Or should it be the K7. You know, the newest model out right now. But I have heard they have some issues so decided to go with the K 5 (8). It's my favourite model out of them all. I know they are all mostly the same, but the design on this one is more nicer to me.
