Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Factory Outlet. Worth it?

impatient one that i am i called axiom and answered my own question. they ship them all in the same order. he also said that if you order say one speaker that is 2wk wait and one that is 5wk wait they would ship both of them at 31/2 weeks. just an fyi

You have to wonder how they would ship something in 3 1/2 weeks that they won't have for 5 weeks.

If for some reason we're not happy with the FO speakers, does the same return policy apply to them?

Never mind, I RTFMed the web page and the answer is yes.

i was wondering the same thing. i think with FO the reason a lot of people can not find blemishes is because there is likely none to find. i think a lot of times theses are returns or if they dont have FO to fill in time they give you new stock but thats just my guess.

The last I knew, returns are NEVER sold as Factory Outlet speakers. They are sold at a nice price to Axiom employees and family.

Jack, that is absolutely correct. It's not much of a problem because they don't get many returns.

I imagine it is pretty easy to ding the vinyl when they're building and testing the speakers, and the way they are built (vinyl goes on before they even cut the wood) would make it really hard to repair a cosmetic defect. A good deal all round.

Your right as usual Mr. Jack, I confirmed when I ordered my Axioms months ago that they are not returns, but you wonder if they really have enough family and employees to make deals on returns. My guess is that they really don't get that many returns anyway, as good as these speakers sound.

In regards to some of the comments from others above, all the speakers on order will arrive no later than the time listed for the longest speaker in the group. In my case, I got all of mine about a week earlier. If you contact Axiom to make arrangements, they will not have a problem shipping part of your order ahead of time, but that is not the default...

sorry i assumed that the FO's were returns. but i know that people have said that they will fill orders with new when no damaged parts are avail to meet the listed time frame.
