Did you bother to insure them? You should never fold to this sort of claim, especially when not accompanied by photos. Only people who get buyers remorse for some reason try this crap. PayPal will invariably take his side which makes no sense. But if there is no box damage then he is absolutely full of crap! And no phone call?
Buyer is claiming damage that was done by him!
Hi group,
I sold a pair of mint Harbeths. I shipped them in original double boxed carton with original bonnets covering them. I just received this EMAIL from the buyer. I know that many ruin these speakers trying to pry the magnetic grills off incorrectly. What is my recourse with this issue?
Thanks much for your input!
This is the EMAIL I received from the buyer!
Hi. I picked up the speakers from FedEx yesterday. They arrived with some minor dents around the front top corners near the grille on both speakers. When I opened the outer box, I've noticed that one side of the inner box wasn't sealed on top and as a result the speakers came out of the top foam speaker holder. I guess the damage occurred from speakers bumping against each other. The grill cloth is also ripped near the dents. I've sent an email to Harbeth asking how much replacement grills are going to cost. I could probably live with those dents but grills might be replaced at some point. I'm still waiting on my amp to come back from service, so I have not even plugged the speakers in yet. Hopefully the drivers are ok.
