Actual Lead Time on Tekton Speakers


Hi All-

I've had a pair Tekton speakers and a sub on order since the last week of February. When I placed the order they said they were running 8-10 weeks for shipment. I knew at the time that these were made to order and that there was a substantial lead time, so I'm not complaining. But I'm like a kid on Christmas Eve...

Can anyone who has recently received their speakers tell me how long it was from order to shipping? 

Thanks,

It is beyond comprehension that you paid for a pair of speakers and they are not delivering them to your house.  This is of course unless you were previously informed of this delivery fact and did not understand.

Assuming you were not notified of this delivery method, what is certainly the case is that the speaker manufacturer did not properly calculate what the shipping cost would be in his quote of the sale price to you. So rather than begrudgingly but honorably absorbing the additional cost, you are over a barrel, so he is sticking you with it.

He likely justifies this because he sells a large speaker at a lower than average price, so your paying the extra just brings your total price closer to what other speakers of its size/quality would cost.

Discount the other poster, that person and the lemmings he has carefully cultivated as his followers do not reflect the spirit of this website or its long term members.

On the other hand, if Tekton was aware of the extra cost to deliver the speakers to your home, that cost would have been added to the overall purchase price of the moabs.  So you are where you would have been anyway, except as you state above, it was a miscommunication.  End result, would your decision to purchase the speakers have changed knowing of the extra costs?
This same scenario happened to me last week, but the company I purchased the speakers from took care of it immediately (TMR).I paid for residential delivery, but someone at FedEx made a mistake,put the merchandise on an eighteen wheeler then called me to unload it myself from a parking lot.Not happening. TMR straightened it out and they were delivered to my door the next day.
Unbelievable that Tekton is of no help to you whatsoever. Even if you did misunderstand the delivery process initially that's a horrible way to treat a customer. Loading those huge speakers on and off a truck by yourself....

The only answer to such a indescrete question is... who knows!
Or maybe you can find the answer by asking yourself another question: would Tekton have sent me the Moabs if for some reason I had sent them 350 euros less than indicated on the invoice?
