I might need help with picking up a pair of speaker stands in downtown Seattle, then packing and shipping them to me. All costs will be covered.

Glad you got the speaker stand issue worked out Jesse.
No German made ones though?!
Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
"I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion."![:\](https://forum.polkaudio.com/resources/emoji/confused.png ":\")
My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

I got boxes yesterday so I hope to have them out to Jesse next week. The seller was about 6 miles from me and I was able to pick up the stands easy on the way to work.

I was trying to make this as easy as possible for Jeff. The plan was for him to pick up the stands from the seller, then I would have Craters and Freighters pick them up from him and ship to me. So, they sent me a quote, which was just crazy high. Jeff stepped up and said he would go through all the trouble of packing and shipping that I was trying to have him avoid. I cannot thank Jeff enough, Thank You!Political Correctness'.........defined

Hey, now we can vote "Awesome" for a post! Woohoo, this is great!
I voted Awesome above for Jeff's effort. Does he get an "Awesome Badge" or something? Do I need to find a post of his and vote "Awesome"? I don't want Jesse to get an Awesome vote for Jeff's effort!
Hey...I also see we can no longer "Disagree" with someone's post...must be so that nobody feels bad. Kind of like giving a "Participation" ribbon in kids' sports.
And, what about "Vote Up" and "Insightful"? Can somebody explain these? This place is getting too difficult and confusing to hang around anymore.
Summary: Well done, Jeff! Very kind of you.

An update:
The stands arrived on Wednesday in perfect condition. Jeff (bikerboy) packed them to withstand anything the shipping company could throw at them, just a superb job. He really went above the call of duty in helping me out and I am truly grateful.
I had a chance tonight to set them up for a little test before I mass load them. It's amazing what a difference it made going from 37.5" to 40" in the tweeter height, not to mention going from a wooden/MDF Sanus stand that weighs maybe 5 lbs. to the Sanus UF30, which weighs 18 lbs. empty. I plan on adding about 35 lbs. to the 18 for a rock solid foundation.Political Correctness'.........defined
