theblueraja Posted October 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 .... I asked Audio Cubes why my order is taking so long. The response:"Your order was delayed because of the difference in billing and delivery address. However, we will have it processed ASAP."GRRRRR!!! Had I KNOWN that I would have had it shipped to my billing!! (At least they said they're working on it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't going to ship it without your permission. Having said that, I wish they would take the black choice off their website if they cannot deliver it.

This is screwed up. As you know I ordered a black one. They sent me a silver one without me asking."He had more things to say about a bad experience, but this was all in a personal message... but bottom line is, it COULD happen.

However my initial impression was that the reason I wasn't asked was that it was an actual mistake and they did say they would send me a black one. Needless to say I sent it back still waiting for the black one though... original order was placed end September...

Richard Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 (edited) Guess what came in the mail today?? (pics will follow soon... if I can get my CAMERA back from a friend!!) Good to see you finally got your unit. To be honest I've pretty much written off the order I placed there altogether. I ordered a black unit end September They sent me a silver one (without asking) which as well as being the wrong colour was also scuffed. They said they would exchange it if I sent it back. I asked them for the return address and their contact in Japan provided me with an address in Osaka. I sent it back next day international priority Track n' Trace. 3 days later their contact in the US asks me if I can send it back to an address in Massachusetts. I told him I had already sent it back to Japan (which he knew as I had already copied him on the mail I sent their Japan contact with the tracking number). 10 days later and they say they have never received the silver unit I sent back. The Dutch post office online system for Track and Trace is not working so they said they would investigate to see what the last known status of the Silver EH1 I sent back was. Frankly I've lost all motivation to go any further with this.... For the record, my only other experience with Audiocubes was that I ordered some MD blanks. They sent me a pair of headphones instead. As I couldn't be bothered to send them back I said I would pay for the headphones, they said fine and that they would send the blanks minus the shipping charge. I then am told the blanks are not in stock and eventually got them after another couple of weeks.I have been buying and selling stuff online since about '95 and have only ever had three or four bad experiences. Unfortunately 2 of these have been with AC. Edited October 17, 2005 by richyhu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lamewing Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Blueraja, So you WERE able to get the black one? They told me that they couldn't do it at all!!!! Instead, I finally agreed on a silver one. This is not a good thing. Twice now AC has screwed up and I had to pay for shipping back to them. I think this will be the last time I will use them, especially since I now have a friend living in Osaka and I am going there this summer anyway. Congrats on your Black EH1.lamewing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
