Anyone know how long it takes to receive tweeters from Polk?

I am at an apartment complex and I have heard that they use UPS for their shipping. UPS doesn't notify us when they drop off a package so I will have to call the front office daily to find out if they came in.

I got the free shipping, I have heard it is 3-5 day shipping. Is this correct? Does anyone know how long it usually takes to ship it out of the warehouse?

Thanks in advance!

    Why don't you just wait 5 days, then drop by the front desk to check instead of bugging them daily as shipping times vary for any number of reasons.

    Getting a little buzz from the new tweets that wasn't there with the 2000s. Breaking in? Only happens on certain frequencies.

    Took some break in for me. A lot easier for me to listen to RDOs.

    Have had them playing for a couple of hours or so. They are definitely laid back compared to the 2000, just hoping the buzz eventually runs it's course.

    There should not be any sort of buzz. It seems you got one or two defective tweeters.

    I honestly feel something might be off. On certain piano notes I'll get a slight resonant buzz, when I isolate the sound of the tweeter I get almost vinyl like grain and pop in the background.

    Considering this is my initial experience I wasn't quite sure what was normal upon installation.

    Damn looks like I'm gonna have to send them back. Put a 2000 back in and no same buzz, only other way I can describe it is it sounds like it is a little muffled and grainy like sand is in tweeter (as odd as that sounds).

    That is odd. Maybe they got a bad batch in this time. I seem to recall someone commenting about a problem with theirs.

    Give them a call tomorrow, I'm sure they will make it right.

    Yeah I have no doubt they will rectify it. Kind of a bummer but I understand some things slip through the cracks.

    @F1nut you by any chance remember where I can find the mention of issues with the Rd0? If possible I'd like to ask them some questions to see if their issue like mine.

    Hi codycatalist,
    It's probably best to get in contact with Kim Jasper, Polk's CS manager. You can email him at: Kim.Jasper@soundunited.com or via telephone to: 1-800-377-7655 extension 5208. In the meantime I'll let him know there's someone who received two replacement tweeters that seem to be defective.
    Regards, Ken

    Let me just say Kim is great!

    Sent one email listing the problem and what I did to troubleshoot, I was expecting to get a reply for more troubleshooting steps but instead got an email showing them sending out another pair.

    Thanks @KennethSwauger for the assistance.

    I've spoken to technical support before a couple times but mostly to gather model number of drivers. This was my first experience with an issue and coming from a customer service field it was absolutely amazing service.

    Go Polk!
