laager Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 A mere two network mounting screws that got overlooked when my Heresy IIIs were sent. I was expecting them tossed in a tough envelope and that be that. Oh, no. Not only were they in a padded bag (with the flap doubly taped down. Not only were they taped together. Not only was there cardboard for protection but he went to the trouble of doing full cutouts in the cardboard so they were recessed, then double taped both sides. Sheesh. I've been known to go overboard but Michael really takes the cake here. Love your work. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedball Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Those are the safest pair of screws I've ever seen, something to remember if purchasing from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daddy Dee Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I've been thinking that I wanted to visit Michael and see the Shop of Klipsch. Now, I am really looking forward to seeing the building he's built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whamo Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 How are you digging the new Heresys? That guy in North Syracuse continues to have pairs and singles listed on E-bay all of time. I wonder if he's legit and if so where does he get them from. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laager Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 The Heresy IIIs fit in just perfectly. As for that guy in North Syracuse, he just seemed too shady to me with his monosyllabic responses and poor feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturn5 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 So did the screws arrive in tact? [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laager Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 No, they were surly, aggressive and totally non diplomatic little things. They did arrive in tape, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyboy Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Now that's some quality packed screws there! Colter, you have WAY too much time on your hands! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Glad they arrived ok. Look for more items for sale from the House of Klipsch very soon. I'm no longer afraid of packing speakers. It can be done safely if you take some time with it. M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laager Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 If you utilise the same level of diligence as you applied a mere pair of screws then I'd suggest 'bomb proof' might be the term to use when describing how you will pack a speaker for a customer.

colterphoto1 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I just received a Crown Amp packed by Terry IBSlammin. He put double 1" blue foam all around it creating an inner box, then wrapped the whole thing in a about a billion feet of tiny bubble wrap- all held together by miles of heavy 3" packing tape. Then he wrapped all of that in an outer cardboard shell with another mile of tape around that. Looked really ugly but got a very heavy amp from AK to IN safe as milk.
