Actual Lead Time on Tekton Speakers


Hi All-

I've had a pair Tekton speakers and a sub on order since the last week of February. When I placed the order they said they were running 8-10 weeks for shipment. I knew at the time that these were made to order and that there was a substantial lead time, so I'm not complaining. But I'm like a kid on Christmas Eve...

Can anyone who has recently received their speakers tell me how long it was from order to shipping? 

Thanks, 

G

Some of us are a little more sensitive than others.. :-)

I'm an old mechanic.. You can't hurt my feeling.. OR anything else for that matter.. It's already been hurt.. sometime twice over.

People that lie about deadlines..  Just lie BACK about the "put on hold notice" for the check you posted. :-). It will be cashable as soon as the speakers SHIP..

Decware was so simple to deal with. They sent YOU a notice via EMail and they were within 3-4 days of those Emails. No need to call or leave BS messages.

It was a pleasure to work with them. It just took a LONG time.. Two week build and test.. ONCE they pulled the parts.. AND they told you when they pulled the parts.. Kinda cool really..
This is a customer relation issue for sure. BUT I wouldn’t sell my speakers out of the US. This is the exact reason why.

I’ll bet there was NO problem at ALL, just payola and a SHIPPER knowing he’s gonna get paid no matter what, IF Tekton new they had to grease someone’s palm and didn’t, that’s different than NOT knowing.
This is pure shipper screwing BOTH of you.. You’re lucky they didn’t disappear, just to reappear for a 1k fee..

IF I were to sell overseas, all the money up front before I start building AND arrange your own shipping. WAY to subject to payola.. I mean who’s gonna call a cop. You got to pay them off too and they just SLOW things down even more so. YOU get your moneys worth from them all right.

I went through a BIG issue with a seller in Perth AU. All about payola with their civil justice system, and ZERO recourse from the US side.. It was ONLY 2500.00 but nothing could or would be done.. Fly to Perth and back.. LOL 2500.00, Lawyer 5k, court cost, 500.00 LOL it was a total joke. I’ll never do business in Australia again..

Thank God it wasn’t Russia there is 5 ways in and out of that country, ALL with different payola BS..

PAY the people and settle up later.. or wait for the BIG gouge and prices really go HIGH, Wait and see. $$$$$
now $$

Keep messing around they’re gonna disappear for a couple of months and you’ll pay a HERO finders fee and STILL pay for the delivery..

This is ALL transportation issues, nothing to do with the shipper/seller or the customer.

You're barkin’ up the wrong tree, even suggesting the use of a lawyer. BUT if you do go to Spain 1/2 the population are lawyers.. Hire a US lawyer, talk about a pure waste of time.. They charge 5-10 time the shipping coast and you’ll never recover their cost in a court EVEN if you get the judgement.. You still have to collect.. Good luck with that. That’s another 5-10 times the amount. Pay the cost and pick up your stuff and settle later. You got ZERO leverage.. I hope you got 100% in the smarts department.

Wait till they start charging for storage...I’ve had that happen on the docks.. 600 euro a day for a 20 foot container. 21 days it sat in customs tied up because it was shipped with fluids or something like that or the wrong type of enviro hydraulic fluid..(Payola) Rota Spain.

Instead of paying someone to change the oil (my suggestion) they waited 21 days and still had to do it under duress and of course a much higher cost for doing it.. They knew, the mechanics.. Payola..

Are you a boss or a manager or something? LOL

Think about what is really going to happen.. Fast forward 20 days, where are you gonna be?
