Well, I might as well let it be known, that my EP500 arrived with some pretty major box damage as well. The sub itself was unharmed, but it makes you wonder what the heck DHL is doing to these packages. As banged up as the boxes are, there's always the chance that something could have been damaged on the inside that isn't readily visable.
I'm sure the good folks up North are on top of this, but DHL sure needs a stern talking to. The Axiom gang has worked FAR too hard to earn their impecable reputation. It'd be a shame to have a lousy shipping company tarnish it in any way.
