    That doesn't look good. Luckily I had the original packaging when I sold my compression drivers, so they were nice and protected.

    I haven't fired them up yet so I don't know if they're functionally damaged, but I'm pursuing refund/replacement because it was a totally substandard packing job.

    Sounds like my vintage TOL Yamaha preamp purchase shipped in a kitchen sink box with some crumbled up newspaper. Audiogon of course, and with bent knobs and the like. No recourse and I got screwed.

    The packer was probably depressed about Germany's soccer performance, he lost the will to live and then that was all the packaging he could muster.

    Damn, maybe next time send them to one of our EU friends first so we can make sure it gets across the pond safely. That is if you ever order from them again.

    Ordered them from Thomann. I think @TwoEars explanation is the most likely. Note to self: avoid ordering stuff from EU during the World Cup.

    Been buying from them for over a decade and never had a problem with aftersales. I'm sure they'll take care of you. I agree though that their packaging could be better.

    @Riotvan oh, good to hear! So far their aftersales support has been pretty responsive, so that signals good things.

    @bixby Had a similar experience. Dude shipped me a 30+ pound commercial coffee grinder in a box that was too big with only crumpled up newspaper around it. When I received it the top was sticking out of the torn box.

    @philipmorgan Bummer, man. Always so disappointing to have to deal with stuff like that.
