Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo So NOW I'm a real Axiom owner...

The only reason I'm trying to look was that the website claimed speakers ordered by the 15th would be delivered by the 24th. THAT would be a gift from Santa, but I'm not optimistic. Before New Years would be sufficient, but I have no way of knowing. Axiom's working on it for me, trying to fix my password. Maybe tomorrow...

OK, all I can think of when I see the truncated title of this thread is that Pinocchio line from the second Schrek movie. "I'm a real boy!... Oh crap."

Oh well...

Bah - Humbug! Despite being ordered on December 15, it appears that my speakers haven't even shipped YET (no tracking info on the Axiom site). Had I known it was available at the time of order, I'd have paid extra for expedited shipping.

Oh well...

I would take the not tracking number with a grain of salt. Admittedly I live quite close to Axiom, but when I ordered my subs, they showed up 3 days before they shipped if you went by when the tracking number was sent to me. I think they put their effort into getting the product out the door rather than producing tracking slips that tell you a tracking slip has been made and will ship at some point.

Thanks, oakvillematt - I'm hoping...

It'll be worth the wait...

Well, I've discovered why my speakers aren't here yet. Had I ordered the "standard" M100s in either Cherry or black ash wrap, the speakers could have been shipped immediately, and I've have received them by now. Instead, I customized my order, so it had to go to the back of the line to be custom-built. The custom-build delay is 10 days, the shipping time probably an additional 10. So assuming that the extra holiday delays aren't excessive, they should be able to ship (maybe) before the end of this year, and by about the 10th of January, they should be here. Oh well...

It's always nice to have something that is built solely for you.

Last year at this time I had ordered my M22V4s in HG Rosewood Veneer & it took over 2 months - 1 month is normal for HG wood finishes due to the many coats of hand rubbed lacquer that are required to properly cure. Unfortunately, last winter was so cold (unlike this year) that it created havoc with Axiom's paint booth hence the slow progress.

They certainly were well worth the wait though...
