Yeah these were from Chicago ... I'll try the tape idea, that's a good one!
Thanks

I saw pics of those on Craigslist, they looked good from the pics. It was on him to make sure the packaging was up to snuff.

Yes I agree. He initially quoted me $100 for shipping, then added another $50 for packaging. I would have been more than willing to spend the extra cash on shipping materials if it meant they were going to arrive alive.
This was definitely a result of shipping .... they were insured, not sure if that includes damage, hopefully he'll get back to me.

Either way you should not be held responsible for the damage. I wouldn't do anything to the speakers, get your money back.

The shipper just wrote to me. He is taking this up with UPS - he's an Ebay seller also and has "never seen mishandling like this before." He says he will give me a refund, so I might come out ok!

If they were insured through UPS, they should re-imburse the seller and he can reiimburse you. I deal with UPS insurance on a consistent basis, the process takes a couple weeks, though.

I will be moving into a new home in the spring and will be looking to put together a nice, future-proof music / ht system for years to come. A good deal is a good deal, *but*... I'd personally forgo what looks to be a good deal from an individual buyer and throw down the extra cash for the new speakers from Axiom, even the factory outlet speakers will be fully warrantied and if there's any dings or nicks whatsoever from shipping Axiom will set you square. I would have the exact finish I want along with the added peace of mind .... but that's just me.

Well I guess i'll chalk this up to a life lesson - private purchasing needs to be selective! No big ticket items! Anyhow, just woke up to a full refund this morning ... looks like I got free M60's! I was able to pull out most of the inward pushed domes also. Guess I can't complain, sure was scary though.
Thanks everyone
