"I didn't know they could sweep together all those tiny little bits so quickly."
Don't Worry littleb, they only send the Big Parts!
;-)
But seriously, I live here in Charlotesville, and have put together two of my own systems, and two others for friends from the Outlet part of the store, and I think the only thing I have EVER had to return was a blown Polk Sub.
Most of the stuff that ends up there is either a store demo, something with a tiny scratch, or something that they were able to fix easily in house. If it requires major repairs they just send it back to the manufacturer and let them deal with it.
One of their VP's used to be a good customer of mine, and he always told me to wiat until something hit the Outlet shelves.
Your unit will be fine, and if it is not, they will make it right.
