Profoundwill, return my items.

[Ge_off_me 5,000+ posts]

Profoundwill, and myself recently did a trade. I sent him my Mint condition PPI A300, a pair of Boston pro60 6.5s w/ crossovers, and a custom made big 3 kit that I made just for his car. He sent me a proclaimed d4 Crystal Cmpx2 15'' sub. I shipped out my items, as he claimed he would too. I asked him about 3 days after I shipped my items if he shipped the sub, he told me no, that the tornado warning around him were causing trouble. I accepted this and told him to stay safe and ship the sub out as soon as everything was safe.

A week after I shipped my items, he shipped the sub finally. Friday of the same week comes, and the sub arrives on my door step, I eagerly open it to find that the sub has no packing material in the box around it, only another box to hold it in place. i then start to notice damage on the sub (Pictures will be up later) the terminals on one side of the sub had a screw that was broken and they were left just hanging, the cone has a nic out of it, the surround has scuffs, and to top it all off, the sub isn't a d4, it is a d2!!! I let him know of the damage and we proceed to talk and try to figure out what we are going to do. I then find time on sunday to test the sub to make sure it at least worked, I find out that the sub plays but has mechanical noise that should not be there. I let him know about this, and he tells me to get a quote for shipping.

I go out the next day and get a quote for shipping and packing materials. I tell him about the quote and then ask him what we are going to do about the custom made big 3 kit I made him and ask him when he is going to ship. He first tells me that he is going to send the kit back, I tell him that I have no use for that kit because I made it just for his vehicle, I tell him that I would like monetary compensation for the kit. That conversation ended when he told me that he wouldn't ship my items back to me until he got the sub. I can't see myself doing that at all, considering he is the one that has trouble shipping in the first place and I have great feedback on this site, 28+ feedback. Right now all I want is; my ppi A300, the Boston pro60 speakers and crossovers, money for the shipping on the sub, money for the big 3, and I want him to ship first.

Sorry for the long read, I guess I can post cliffs in a bit lol

Here was the ebay listing for the sub that he had, there is also a thread on here displaying that the sub was d4.

Do you think it is fair that I make him ship back first?

in all honesty the packaging shouldve been better than how it sounds it was. packaging on subs is important, as it is with other electronics, because of all the soft parts it has. hope profound will take care of this on his end.

Let's everyone stay calm. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

They're big boys. I'm sure it'll work out.

My .02 is that all items should be returned to the original owner. Due to Profound's item being the one in question, and ge_off_me having more than enough feedback, I think it would be quite alright to expect Profound to ship first at this point if items are simply to be returned.

The other method I see is to make a claim on the sub to the shipping company. Though this may not fly due to packaging methods, lack of insurance on the item, etc.

***Not my transaction, just my opinions.***

Fed ex has already been called, they will not cover it due to lack of packaging.

I completely agree with geoffs requests, they are more than reasonable considering the situation.

The sub was shipped in the same crystalmobile sound box that I received the sub in, this box was made for shipping this exact subwoofer. I have shipped plenty of subwoofers before and never had a problem. I thought the sub was d4 I never checked it which is my fualt, I thought they all were dual 4 ohm. As for the big three I told him what lengths I needed up front and he own his added 3-4 inches to each piece making them all too long, so is that really custom, not doing what I requested. Also the PPI amp is not mint and the 6.5's are scratched up.

To make a long story short I offered to pay for him shipping the sub back to me and he refused to give me his paypal address to receive payment. In return of getting my sub I will ship all of his stuff back to him. It sounds like a set up to me, why not take my money for the shipping and send my sub back.

I have pictures of the ppi amp before shipping, I sent them to you as well. The amp was mint, I think even shinju can vouche for that. The 6.5s were 8/10 I told you that from the very beginning. I added the extra length to be helpful. I have more feedback than you, and the packaging you have done before was not appropriate for what you were shipping. I will send the sub out once I receive my items in the condition that I sent them.
