I just bought some subs from a WELL respected seller on this forum. I waited 3 and 1/2 weeks to receive the subs after being told multiple times that they had been shipped even though the tracking info said otherwise. I get the subs and 3 out of the 4 subs baskets are damaged beyond fixing without getting recones and new baskets. He threw clothes into a box, then the sub, then more clothes on top. The subs were just flopping around in the boxes. They werent even packed tight in to the boxes and there was more than enough room for the subs to move around. They werent even double boxed. He wont refund me and says that its not his fault UPS jacked them up. I say that if they were packaged properly there would have been no issue. Now he is "trying to work with me" and says he can get recones and baskets cheap. I shouldnt have to be worrying about recones and baskets.
