RE: to richard allen (eb2 )

Really?I posted here a year or so ago about the lack of service from EB Acoustics and i can't believe they are still keeping paid customers waiting this lenght of time!! Richard,if you still lurk on this forum you need to sort this stuff out.Your great product is only let down by your lack of communication.

Once again I'll bring this post to Richard's attention.

What bothers me is that on his website he has reduced delivery times (3 weeks for EB1, 6-8 weeks for EB2):

RE: to richard allen (eb2 )

maybe the 'return for full refund' times should be increased to 150% of the actual delivery time? 

There's an incentive to deliver as promised.

As a neutral observer the message seems clear, don't be tempted to buy one.

A chap on another forum got his EB1s in only 5 weeks. (The post was only a month ago.)

Might be an idea to phone Richard to find out what's going on. Maybe he misplaced your orders.

Not misplaced or lost. I talk to him 5 weeks ago and he had all my details. He told me to send the replacement "maybe the next week"...

 

What is not normal is that some have the speakers in 5 weeks and others (me, for example) have to wait 6, 9 or 14 months, and 10 weeks extra for a replacement.

RE: to richard allen (eb2 )

I ordered a pair back in July 2011 and got them delivered in 9 weeks. The sound didn't suit me so I sent them back and got a full refund within a week. I spoke to Richard Allen a couple of times during the whole process and he was always very helpful. Didn't strike me as the kind of person that would intentionally mislead somebody.....

 

I would try calling him, not emailing. I got the sense he wasn't an email kind of guy.
