Schwa Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Schwa that sucks. Were the speakers okay or did they get damaged? It really sucks how we have to worry about something showing up damaged from a DELIVERY comapny. That is their job! That's all they do and yet they still throw people's stuff around. Happened to my RF-83s and an expensive crankshaft. The speakers weren't damaged in shipping but one of the woofers was dented so I sent the speaker back anyway. Truth be told, I've found three dented woofers in my new Reference V set. Not to derail this thread, but the fit-and-finish of the Chinese-built speakers isn't up to the quality of my old RF-3/RC-3/RS-3 system (all of which was, of course, built in the USA). Go figure. I guess that's yet another reason to replace my front three speakers with RF-7IIs and an RC-64II!! Maybe next Christmas... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwa Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 My stuff wasnt double boxed either Wow I wonder why they're not doing that any more. I ordered a little sub from them like 6 months ago and it was double boxed. Hopefuly UPS doesn't destroy my 64 I bet dollars to donuts your speaker will arrive fine. As heavy and large as it is I bet the factory packaging is pretty robust -- and given its value, it's possible (perhaps even likely) that Vann's will double-box it. Even if it is damaged, Vann's is great with stuff like that and I'm sure they'll get a replacement speaker out to you in no time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornfedksboy Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 My Klipsch Icon W-35 speakers from Vann's arrived double boxed. Here's the "kicker;" The UPS guy backed into my driveway, opened the rear of the truck, handed me the clipboard, and literally pushed the speakers off of the truck with his foot. The bottom of the speakers landed in my garage with the top leaning against the bumper. I was shocked!!! He did this because he was in a hurry, but I made him stand there while I unboxed them before I would sign for it. Thankfully, they were fine.

Shodrewken Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Mike just told me their are no B-stock centers and doesn't know if he will ever get anymore That's too bad. The b-stock cherry finish seems to be pretty sought after now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A1UC Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I have not seen my ups driver at my shop for 9 months we got into it real bad his boss had to come down and the cops , now I use Fed Ex and I would still like to smash the UPS driver . Funny thing he was wrong and got his butt chewed out , I thought he was going to get fired . We didnt like each other and he would make sure my packages came last at the end of the day even tough he dropped off at the shops on each side of me , he is a fricken dick I only use Fed Ex now and have a great driver goes way out of his way for me even Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
