    I doubt anyone else will experience anything different, but if anything should be easy to dispute, this should be it.

    1) Not real wood veneer as advertised
    2) Not the speaker pictured
    3) Not an RTi speaker as described
    4) Not a powered tower
    5) Not a pair of speakers as advertised

    Those are five pretty big things right there.

    Well boys, I will keep my fingers crossed for you and hope your luck was better than mine. UPS came very early this morning and dropped off my *single* speaker. This is of course, after I was re-assured it was for the pair.

    AAAhhh geez .... only one speaker delivered even after your FIRST phone call to CS :rolleyes: . Yeh , looks like this whole thing is going to get messy , and who the heck only orders only one speaker any how (with the exception of maybe some very RARE situations)
    The web page said PAIR on two seperate web pages and throughout the WHOLE order process .

    I did SAVE pics of the web site price of $174.99 a PAIR (two seperate web pages) ; so if anyone needs any copies of this , just shoot me an e-mail at stereo55@comcast.net and I'll be MORE than happy to send them to you asap !!! The web/page price was saved in MS Word format from Office 2000 , so I hope this will work for everyone needing copies .

    heh heh ..thx .


    *EDITED below *

    I have a better idea , as I will try to host the pics at photobucket.com for all to use . I just hope this will work with the MS Word format .
    Iam going to try this now so wish me luck . :)

    And ....for anyoneone needing pics , I guess its just easier if you e-mail me directly for pics ; cause I cant send them in a PM .

    Going to try photobucket.com right now , so I may not respond back to relpies for a little while . I will do my best to get back to EVERYONE asap . ;)

    *EDITED*
    Seems I have to change the format for photobucket.com ; so until I can fiqure this out (or see if I have the correct program to do so); just send me an e-mail for the pics . :)

    I do not like tweeter at all, you can not find useful information when you want to buy something. If not for the great price, I would not jump...

    anyway, I was going to cancel this order according your guys information, they did it for me

    I use to do some shipping /receiving a few years back, and the answer is no . UNLESS ... The ONLY way I know to retract a regular shippment , is for the company (Tweeter) to cancel the order BEFORE it has been picked up by the shipping company ; after that its gone . Once your package is in the shipping companies warehouse or on a truck , then the package must be delivered . There is no way to stop the normal process unless its a hazadous material ( and that a whole differant story /process in itself ).
