Hey guys just ordered a few days ago from the factory outlet and was wondering if the wait time listed is always that long or short? It said 2 week, but I was hoping it would be shorter. What has been most people's experience?

I think Axiom generally tries to underpromise and over deliver, but don't count on it being faster or you'll undoubtedly be disappointed. ;\) [Murphy's Law and all]

Keep in mind that shipping times can add several days to the time... 2 weeks until they ship, plus shipping time.

It unfortunately takes almost a week to get all the way down to Texas. Fortunately you're a lot closer. ;\)

Question comes up a lot, generally if you average the times of the speakers you ordered, that is when you'll get them.

jhunt I also ordered factory outlet. They estimated 4 weeks for me, and then shipped in 3, and it got there in one more. it seems to be the way in general that they work, but like myrison said don't count on it being too short or you'll most likely be disappointed

well, I am not expecting it before that, but I am just impatient and can't wait to get them. Even though it is just for the other room. Sure would have loved to have the 80's and put the 60's over there, but no biggie. Think I'll save for a screen for my projector instead I guess.

The wait times are an estimate only and could be longer if there is a run on the desired color choice, or it could be less if they have some sitting around. My M80s arrived in 2 weeks instead of the 3 it had claimed.

Hello jhunt17

If I remember correctly you ordered a custom finish so it will take a little longer, but I am sure it will be well worth it \:\) (correct me if I am wrong here). I ordered just their standard Boston Cherry finish and recieved my speakers within 4 days from placing my online order. I am sure Axiom uses just in time inventory on their custom finishes so there might be some wait time with them because they are not in as demand as their standard finishes because of the extra cost involved. You will defenitely have to post some pics of your setup when you receive them. Epic 60 500, 7.1 :):)

I'm jealous,

There are no custom finishes from the FO, so I hope the thread title is correct; but if the OP did get a custom finish it will most deifinitely take longer.

No, I just ordered the boston cherry. How do you post pics? My dad and I built my theater in my basement and I recently (finally) got a projector to finish it off. I absolutely love it. I will post pics if someone can tell me how to do this.

Thanks for clearing up my mistake jakewash. I was not totally sure if he ordered custom or not.

P.S You will get your speakers soon enough... \:\)
