Where are you getting the 14days figure for returns? In regards to special finishes, someone else will have to comment, or you might call Axiom. They have very good Customer Service, and will work with you.
Regular inventory arrives 2 days Fed Ex. Factory Outlet speakers usually arrive if you average all the dates stated for the speakers you order. I assume custom finishes are a little different animal. Either way, Axiom will work with you if your unsatisfied, which most likely won't happen. Another option would be to get a sample if your concerned about the finish. I'm sure the sound won't be an issue.
