Magnepan Service HORRIBLE???


I am now into my 5th week waiting for Magnepan to evaluate shipping damage to a pair of MG 3.7's. My wife and I paid Craters and Freighters to build a custom wood crate for them so they would not be damaged further by the trip from Richmond to Minnesota.

I know everyone will say they are a small company and I need to be patient but this is ridiculous to my mind. I have called 5-6 times and the seller has also called. The last time I called Shelia acted like she had never spoken to me before despite the previous phone conversations.

I know the MG 3.7's are supposed to be sensational speakers and I bought my first pair of Magnepans in 1975 but I am seriously considering flipping these if Magnepan ever inspects and repairs them. The aggravation simply is not worth it to me.

A month and I can not even get anyone at Magnepan to open the crate, inspect them, and give me a damage estimate to provide to FedEx who is ready to pay the claim. Unfortunately, they can't pay until Magnepan provides an estimate of the damage and then I have to wait for the actual repair.

I never thought I would feel this way about Magnepan but this current situation has changed my mind to a huge extent. This is just ridiculous the way I see it and I can see no good excuse for it.

I was a Magnepan dealer for many years and can truly say that Magnepan is a top-notch company, founded on customer service.

I would call and ask for either Steve Winey or Wendell Diller and relate your story to them. I can guarantee you, they will get to the bottom of this.

Magnepan really is an excellent, outstanding company.
Chazro...the OP said he sent the CJ back to the seller to let the seller deal with it and the seller refunded his money. He kept the Maggies, thus he is only dealing with the repair of the Maggies, not the CJ.

Apparently the OP is still in touch with the seller of the CJ and knows how the repairs are going?
I'm anxious to hear what member "Mrschret" has to say after he visits Magnepan tomorrow. Maybe he can shed even more light on this topic?
