Fedex and Ups Damage thread

I purchased a demo set of Paradigm 95F towers from a dealer way up North. They came damaged with a nick her, a nick there and a scratch here or there. Nothing too bad. The dummy dealer used the old boxes but they had been poorly packed. Needless to say i contacted him and he started a claim with UPS. It took about 7-8 weeks total. I had put them back into the boxes and they were just sitting in my living room waiting to be picked up so I could get a refund. The UPS guy finally showed up and said, "i am just supposed to pick up one speaker." Well, there was no way i was going to release just 1 speaker while the other one just sit there. Turns out, the adjuster was only willing to pay for one speaker despite both being damaged. She was later fired. Point to all of this is, since he was paid for one speaker ($1,500 ) and i had already paid him $3,000 we settled on me paying $1,500 instead of $3,000 total for both speakers due to them being damaged. So, I was refunded $1,500 from the $3,000 paid. In short, I still have a fine sounding pair of Paradigm 95F speakers.... Problem solved, eh..
