HELP! Large speakers fell over during shipping.

The speakers can look perfect and sound OK and a month from now develop an issue. If the guy you purchased the speakers from paid for the shipping, you are going to be caught in the middle. Any money will go to the person, that paid for the shipping. One OUT the shipper has is when something is not packed correctly. If the seller put the speaker on a pallet without band straps, they were not packaged correctly.
I agree with Kennyc: you should refuse shipment to get the speakers back to DALI for them to inspect/fix, then send you out a inspected/new pair.

North American Van lines has a service that will come to your house and pick up you item, stretch and blanket wrap, then deliver it. I have shipped 30+ old jukeboxes without crates and only had one get damaged. They returned the jukebox to me and paid me for the repair and re-delivered it for free. Shipping a jukebox (400/500 lbs) from the east coast to the west coast is usually $500 or so. They will even take them in the house for an extra fee.

You want to look for cabinet and river damage and damage to the inside like rattling parts or pieces as well as sound issues like drivers not working.

Interesting subject, About a year ago I found a decent pair of JBL L-150A's I wanted to purchase, from a business ( not an individual) I inquired about shipping these brutes roughly 600 miles away. I was told they ship all over the country & not a problem. So they are placed on a pallet, strapped down & well protected, they arrive at my home & removed from the trailer on a lift, I proceed to unpack & remove them, I inspect them with no visible damage so I'm happy, then I go and hook them up to my amp, well the first speaker is working fine (so far so good) the second speaker is hooked up, but no sound coming from the woofer. I check everything on the outside but it all checks out. So next I remove the big 12" woofer to inspect the X-over to see if everything is wired properly, well there you have it, a big heavy inductor that was glued onto the X-over some 40 yrs. ago has broken free & is resting on the bottom of the cabinet, wires pulled apart, so I guess my question to the seller should have been, not just is it possible to ship these to me, but is it going to be possible to ship them to me "damage free" live & learn.

Update:
Had the local speaker pro over. He tested drivers and all are working fine.No cracks or concerns are visible anywhere. They sound wonderful. Huge sound, fine details. Even better than I expected. (I'm upgrading from the smaller Helikon 400's).
Seller already fully refunded me. Now we wait for the insurance company.Then seller and I will re-negotiate. He's been quite a gentleman throughout the ordeal.
