This is how SoundPure.com ships a $999 reverb unit

Post by Ugly Nora »

I am no shipping expert, but some bubble wrap or some shit wrapped around the unit might have been called for in this situation. The unit was flopping around in the box. The only thing that was wrapped was the foot pedal. :whateva:

Yeah that's some poor packaging for something so expensive and fragile. I'm assuming it made it to you undamaged and fully functional though? More importantly, how does it sound!?

Not even newspaper? Sheesh.

The Lafyette should be here tomorrow. I can do the A/B right now though. The Spaghetti Western sounds amazing, the Lafyette sounds like crap (in an amazing way).

I hope you let them know you were displeased with the packing job and they are on the hook if you have any problems with it.
Good deals on ILF: too many to list, just ask!

Yes, I ripped them a new one on the phone. Here is an email the manager sent me after he told me that any problems would be covered by their 3 year warranty if I ran into any issues down the road.

"Hi Nora,

Thanks for the conversation, I am sorry the item wasn't packed to your liking. Give the unit a try, and let me know what you think about it, and if you hear it, and want to keep it we can work out something to make sure you are taken care of. I am not sure what to offer as an extra warranty on it against defects, but rest assured that taking care of the customer is my main concern. I will check on boxing/shipping techniques after taking a look at the photos.

First things first, let me know if you like the unit, and we will go from there."

They actually discounted it to me for $929. Maybe they only include bubble wrap if you pay full price?
