I was not totally impressed with some of the recent packaging of the onwall speakers, they are basically placed in the center of the packaging with custom foam on the ends. Something piercing the cardboard would easily reach the centered speakers, versus having some double boxing or additional foam,bubble wrap.

yes..if you had seen photos of the original speakers i had received..i should have cancelled the order but this forum gave me hopes..that service will do it right..
even the new twitters i recd were in a bubble wrap and put in a small box..moving all over the box. not impressed..one would think they pack those so they don't bang on each other and damage.
The wait for the next box kills you. I was watching a movie y'day and the left channel was going on-off with twitter. painful..had to switch it off and go back to TV speakers.

Considering they didn't tweet...
Its probably a matter of cost. Costs less to replace a few sets of speakers than double the cardboard. On the other hand, the Vasallos probably offer more margine, and more cost to replace.

Your probably correct FredK. Axiom will also take up a damage claim with the shipping company I presume when it comes to these matters. However the amount of labour and time that goes into some of the custom finishes, overboxing the shipment would be a must.
