| Fedex Customs problem Use DHL. But I think it has more to do with the shipper, and what they declare when filling things out on their end. I have never had any problem in something like a dozen international shipments. Only time I ever paid anything to customs was $30k... | |

Checking around I found the importer had one with shipping damage, all cosmetic, cracked transformer cover, small paint chip. Offered it to me for half. I asked about a warranty.

| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? The one you mention, wretch2, not only should all his posts be removed but then he should be suspended. For a start. And this is from a guy who abhors censorship. But if the whole point of a forum is to exchange ideas to help people find what they... | |
