Shipping Speakers, watch out

Some time back I read a thread concerning shipping companies for speakers good/bad. Just recieved my GMA Europas from Bax Global. This company was the subject of many complaints but also some praise in that earlier thread.
Yes they called me at home several times and kept in touch with me and yes they delivered on time as promised (by sub-
contractor Conway Freight) and yes-------my speakers were damaged on arrival. Thank you Mo Larry or Curly I'm not sure
which.
I inspected the boxes on arrival and the carton damage looked incidental but actually turned out to be a lift or
something jammed into the box through the foam and then breaking off the rear top corner of one speaker.
So here's my point. Open the boxes,( I did) and unpack the speakers or at the very least sign out any, and I mean any
carton damage before you sign off for delivery. Don't assume it's just shipping rash or you may be sorry. I am.
I will report later on these fine speakers. Once I have cooled down and they have broken in (20 hours so far).

I agree you can not be careful enough when shipping speakers, last time I sold a pair of full range speakers I paid mail boxes a LOT to ship them. I dropped them off they had to build the crates and guaranty the condition upon delivery, to me it was worth the $1400 to get them where they were going safely! Unless you do something like that and spend a lot to ship them you are taking a big risk- often you get what you pay for in situations like this.

I wish you the best of luck getting this taken care of in a timely fashion.
