This is the condition of speaker I got it yesterday they are in such bad condition that back unit can’t be stand if it’s own. It’s base is dislocated due to bad packaging or shipping whatsoever
No bubble rapper on speakers as he say nothing will happen as these original boxes were bullet proofHow were they packaged, in the original box? Did they have enough bubble wraps, thermocol when you received them?
Second that. These are boutique items, and use exotic material like wood which is vulnerable to transit damage. I don’t know if this would assuage your pain and/or anger towards the seller, but in the last I have received the DHT preamp (post modification) from Lyrita, the manufacturer (who probably knows better than anyone else how to pack it) damaged in shipment. Courier in India can be unpredictably awful in their handling. Yes, of course Lyrita had the damage repaired at no cost to me and also bore one side shipping for the same, but the point am making is that such items are fragile in transit. So, please reconsider the insinuation of intentional shipment of damaged item by the seller. And work out with him a mutually acceptable way to resolve the issue. Even the seller might want to consider, on empathetic grounds though not legal, sharing in the cost of restoration with the buyer.These are dream set for an ordinary audiophile in India. It is really a challenging stuff to pack and send it, particularly, other than the manufacturer/dealer who will have better knowledge of packing.
Well, looks like they were not Indian road proof. Jokes apart, I believe Lyrita has an official presence in Delhi. Talk to them and find if the damages can be restored and how much it will cost. Next talk to seller and come to an term amicably. Since, this deal is happened through HFV, probably moderators can mediates a deal between you and the seller to bear the cost of repair.No bubble rapper on speakers as he say nothing will happen as these original boxes were bullet proof
Be positive, there is a proverb, 'if money lost, nothing is lost' and can be earned back. We have lost our close relatives and friends who are young and energetic in lost couple of months due to pandemic, whom we never going to get back, but we are able to curse only the god and medical inadequacy. No body can predict what happens tomorrow, we all live with hopes and trust.I think I will never spend more in music equipments as world is full of cunning people.
Probably the first very sensible post so far. All other FMs have questioned the poor buyer who lost a hefty amount enough to give him sleepless nights. One off package getting damaged is pure bad luck for a buyer but receiving all three packages in damaged condition is not just a coincidence.. Either the equipment was already in such a state which I do not suspect or the packaging was bad and it could not cope with rough handling.This thread also makes me wonder why almost all the For Sale posts say “shipping risk borne by the buyer“ while actually it’s the seller who has more control on the packaging? Is it that pre-owned audio components is a ‘sellers’ market’? Isn‘t it fair to share the shipping risk? Or am I missing something?
By the same logic, sellers should also not post here and instead should approach dealers or olx. Sales and purchases on hifi forums happen due to mutual trust.Sellers market? Not really, if buyer wants service, guarantees, assurances, then pls buy retail or take the trouble of picking the items, personally
None of those was intended in my ‘seller’s market’ comment. Only ‘sharing of shipping risk’. Why isn’t that fair? Again, my point is generic, not specific to (though triggered by) your transaction.Sellers market? Not really, if buyer wants service, guarantees, assurances, then pls buy retail or take the trouble of picking the items, personally
This will be a great support and I m very much open for it.Well, looks like they were not Indian road proof. Jokes apart, I believe Lyrita has an official presence in Delhi.

Thanks I appreciate your motivation.Be positive, there is a proverb, 'if money lost, nothing is lost' and can be earned back.

But in my experience, I come across more good people than bad people. Some times good and bad things comes in a single bundle. We can't stop, keep on going accepting both good and bad.
As for as the packing shared in above images, I can say, it is very in-adequate considering the weight and nature of the products. The original boxes will not ensure the safety since those are aged and lost their stiffness and unable to maintain right angles(cubicle shape) while moving. The products should have been first supported with wooden reapers and fastening (skeleton crate) with diagonal support and cushioning. Then should have housed in little bigger cardboard box. Being myself worked in a Stores department in one of the big Automobile industry for nearly 3 decades, I know how the packing should be, based on the products.
But for now, try to get back the system into working condition and keep enjoying music and share your experience. We love to hear some good things also.
Totally agreed and this guy was members here since 2010 when I don’t anything about music and he mentioned that he is selling stuffs from 15-20 years and he know how to packaging. I don’t think was nowhere to question his capacity and capability…Probably the first very sensible post so far.

Same thoughts. Very casual packing and would have worked for small and light weight speakers. No doubt the products got damaged during shippingAs for as the packing shared in above images, I can say, it is very in-adequate considering the weight and nature of the products.

Murthys speaker cables - worth 5k

Here are some of the videos and pictures sent to Jatin - https://photos.app.goo.gl/2joNqKmB9YzLoh4N9
Did I receive any complaint in how I packed the items before sending - No.
Did I offer to buy back the pulz and lyrita - yes as I had sold it purely as a system match convenience for jatin
He mentions I cut the phone - yes his third call in this regard where he accussed me of stitching up the rethm by using mseal?! I told him that the problem is now solved as he can fix it by mseal. Pls refer to pics. which I glad I date stamped using the days newspaper and sent it live to jatin.
I spent nearly 3.5 lakhs for this package. I took my loss. I can't take any more losses.

never claimed I'm dealing in this forum, I'm open to hear from anyone on this forum if they have felt so. I have just sold my jbl 4312, f5 amp and cadence arista/va . All sucessfully delivered.
I'm posting as it is troubling to see how jatins genuine frustration has now turned into something where he feels I should take responsibility to, including coordination with Jacob..i can't, just not practical.
If you are really genuine person then take responsibility of speakers and get them fixed for me and I will take care of lyritaFirstly, I'm the seller and I completely understand jatins frustration, completely relatable as I myself have faced such things with three purchases on forum...

I can understand your frustration. Please be careful next time and hope you get to fix the damage at a nominal cost.He just wanted to make easy money by fooling people by selling his cheap equipment. I think he buy stuff from some chor bazar and sell here in very clever way to newbies like me.
