Audio Eden & Lack of Response - Anyone Else?


I have tried since last weekend to get a response from the Canadian retailer, Audio Eden, who is offering a used Nait Naim UnitiServe. Calling them occasionally got a response to call back later. Their terms were onerous; quoting in Canadian dollars only, refusing to use PayPal and wanting to impose a 6 1/2% tariff to ship into the States. That one really steamed me. Since when were tariffs applied to used goods? Near the end of my frustration when I couldn't get any response to my emails I tried to call them. Apparently they are a 2 man shop. The fellow that I could get on the phone always deferred to the other guy. I tried for three days to reach him but never did. I'd beware of these people. All my other Audiogon experiences have been very positive. This is the lone exception. I'm now glad that I didn't buy from them. Had I had a problem I seriously doubt that it would have ever been resolved.

Audioeden is an excellent retailer. I've bought numerous items from them and they have always taken excellent care of me. They are honourable gentlemen and will make sure you are happy.
We Canadians over here have the same problem in dealing with the United States. I do think both countries are at fault by trying to maximize tax revenues in other words greedy governments. And someone mentioned that All you have to do you know the rules. In my experience that is totally incorrect I had items coming by FedEx that were mine and marked as going for repair but they stilled charged duty. When I pointed it out they just say that I can appeal the process. Obviously no one does that for 20or 30 bucks. One of my rules now is never use FedEx or UPS always use regular mail. This way you at least will be treated fairly regarding the duties.
