Pet audiophile peeves - name yours

At the moment, receiving a D.O.A. speaker, well packed with no damage to the box or cabinet, having paid $100 for shipping/insured and being told by the seller, I need to wait for UPS inspectors to make a determination before I ship it back, at my loss for a PayPal refund... I suppose crossover damage could have been done during shipping, I don't know, just pretty discouraging...

Shadrone, Perhaps some folks are extrodinarily affluent and just don't wish to embarrass the 'ordinary' folks by showing (off) their set up. :-)

My greatest irritation is I can't spell and its too late to edit my last post! :-)

dealing with damage claims w/shippers. (UPS & FEDEX is worse) My advice is TRIPLE BOX....original double boxes & packing are compromised once they've traveled once. Put another padded box around the originals. Learn from me, don't go thru the hell I've experienced twice in the last 2 yrs.

Newbee, I run a spell checker. I wonderful invention for those of us who can't spell or type. It corrected six typos in this small post.
