SiliconTi Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 For anybody interested, AV Therapy in Nashua New Hampshire still has them set up downstairs until they have a chance to ship them next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestonTom Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 I am curious about the logistics on these "new" Jubilees. Does the vendor get a "demo version" for their store and subsequent orders are drop-shipped from Hope to the buyer or are all Jubilees shipped from Hope to the vendor and then delivered to the buyer?

SiliconTi Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 They were there for the demonstration event, and have been left there for a week or so as a courtesy to the store. Seems the store is to ship them back, but no rush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know Paducah Home Theater used to get the Underground Jubilee shipped to their warehouse and then they shipped them to the customer. Don't see why the handling of the new Jubilee would be any different from that or any other Heritage product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their competitor, American Cinema Equipment, sold a ton of "underground Jubilees" over the last 15 years. In their case, the product was drop-shipped from Hope. Although they were a selling the Pro stuff and not Heritage/Home stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEH Synergy Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Drop shipped makes more sense. Why risk damage twice and eat it later? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I'm sure they do based on SUPERIORLY INFERIOR packaging? Klipsch has no part in the claim process apart from getting a refund based on the value of the shipment - klipsch ship fully insured , the Carrier takes all responsibility for the shipment the moment they sign for it - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OO1 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 I would think to the contrary , that klipsch loses money anytime a Shipment is damaged by a carrier the costs in manpower ,labor , back-orders , double shipments , replacements must be extremely high- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEH Synergy Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 I wasnt being serious with that question. Anyhow, I likely won't be buying new klipsch any time soon, but would be nice not to see and hear of so many of their heritage speakers getting damaged in transit.

PrestonTom Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 I am starting to regret that I asked the question about drop-shipping. So I feel obligated to share my experience. About 10 years ago I purchased the K-402 package (horn, driver and stand) from American Cinema Equipment. My understanding is that these were drop-shipped from Hope to my house. The packaging was carefully done and they arrived intact. It was clearly packaged at the factory and not by a third party. They were so well-packed that I can't imagine them ever being damaged in transit. However, I know this sometimes happens and I have to assume that someone would have to be an idiot when stacking them or using a fork lift. I certainly had no complaints.
