Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater The Perpetual "Waiting for my Axiom's" Thread

Well, boys and girls (and Ajax and Ray, who I'll affectionately call old codgers),

the Axioms are on their way...And, of course, as Murphy's law would have it, I'm on the tail end of the fifth day of one of the longest and busiest work weeks of my life. As a result, I'll probably miss my Axioms by more than a few hours, and won't have a chance to check 'em out till tomorrow (they're being shipped to my parents, who are home more than I am, and who live just a few miles from me).

I'll bring my "didgy" and take some photos of my experience, including close up before and after photos of my gorilla ports. (just kidding - I wouldn't take pictures of that...)

Anyway - very excited over here. 13 weeks is a long time to wait.

One quick question. Tell me if you think this is wierd.

Why has the shipment gone from California last night to Memphis TN, back to California...WTF! I'm sure nothing has gone wrong, I just thought it was interesting that it would show up in TN an hour after it left California, only to end up back in CA the next morning. Any comments would be helpful.

BARRIE CA

Pre-routed meter pkg picked up

I'm not sure about the back and forth, but Mississauga, CA is Canada, not California.

the CA is actually CANADA, not CALIFORNIA.. but, it is weird just the same.. maybe the ship codes got mixed up or something, but i would assume they didnt ship back to canada. each box gets its own ship code, so maybe there was some confusion there..

i just hope they get there fine, i am sure they will.. cause a few more days on top of 13 weeks will seem like an eternity.

patience young one.. i thought they taught you that in lawyer school??

Perhaps you shouldn't have sued or sent that Fed Ex guy to the pokey.

CA = Canada? This, they didn't teach me in law school.

And yes, if FedEx doesn't get me my goods on time, they'll be getting a nasty demand letter. I think a couple grand in emotional damages will make me whole - anyone up for some punitives? Oh, man, I love those punitive damages - make it hurt where they'll feel it....

I'm sure everythign is fine - they'll be home soon.

we are not in pain, most of us already have our speakers..

You are cruel.

I ordered a CD changer, a C372 NAD amp, cables with those fancy banana plugs and the Axiom M60tis yesterday.

I didn't get a confirmation email - apparently there is some sort of Canadian holiday, and my order isn't getting processed until next week. But that means more time to get my extremely cluttered room cleaned up and ready for the new stuff.

Time passes slowly when you're awaiting the fedex truck to come to your block...

I've finally joined the ranks of those anxiously awaiting the arrival of their large bundles of joy I ordered them last week - only 5 more to go (special order finish). I'm still in the "very excited" stage. I'm sure the "Ugghh...are they ever gonna get here" stage will start soon. Hopefully my 3805 will get here soon so I have something to play with.

Don't worry - the time actually does fly. Just mark it on your calendar, and have a reminder come the week before. Until then, forget you even bought them, visit the site regularly and lust after them greedily. Then, one day, Amie will send you an e-mail and it will seem like christmas all over again.

You know that new car smell? "New speaker" smell is even better.

Mmmmmmm...new speaker smell. That'll be a good day!

Pete

Just make sure to wash your face before examining/sniffing the speakers too closely. Greasy nose streaks diminish the appearance of your Axioms.
