Zu Defintion 1.5 vs Def IV

I just shipped a $4K Audio Research amp from Ohio to Albany, NY using FedEx. It was delivered during the busiest week of the year Dec 20, 2012. Perfect with no complaints.

I have used them for amps, speakers, stands, and turntable without fail. I always take pictures and buy insurance.

Good Luck and congratulations!!!!

I agree with the FedEx choice Warren. Also the nice custom boxes that Zu sends the Def 4's in are bullet proof for the most part so you should be safe. What color are your 1.5's btw? Maybe someone wants a jump on what will be the next Def 3......

Who to use for shipping is a crap shoot. Freight, strapped to a pallet, would be best if you could swing the $$$. I believe that's how Zu is going to ship your Def 4's. I would make sure to take plenty of photos during packing them up showing them in the custom foam enclosure. FWIW, I sent my Def 3's back to Zu with UPS ground without issues.
By the way, what color did you order your 4's?

My 1.5s are red matte. Not Ferrari red, rather Mercedes "Mars" red. My 4s are natural maple. Light and beachy like our home. My (5years ago) 1.5s came on a pallet because Zus packaging was the pits. I could never send my 1.5s back in them unless they were strapped to a pallet. That's why (doing it backwards, but less expensive) I'll send my 1.5s back in the same box of my 4s. Sean says they will fit like a glove and not to worry. Christian says I should be seeing these babies around mid February...sweet

I sent my Def 1.9s and my original pair of Def 2s to Zu using FEDEX ground without a problem. That is what Zu recommended and what Zu used to send me all but my Def 4s.
