Not yet! As it turns out, they are just shipping out from Ascend's warehouse today! Extra time was needed to arrange a pallet and freight truck shipping. So I should have them early next week!

Whelp, here come my new bundles of joy!

That's over 400 lbs of goodness, if the UPS shipment information is accurate
Everything certainly appears to be well-packed. Fingers crossed that there's no careless UPS forklift driver to ram a forklift tine through that pallet! Had that happen to me when I got my SVSound PC13-Ultra subs a while back. So, I know all too well that it can happen! But, as far as what Ascend is able to do on their end, they've done everything they can, everything I'd expect, and more.
So, next week is the big week for me! Please keep my precious cargo in your prayers -- haha

Outstanding pics! That's a huge bundle of love right there.
I'll definitely be keeping your cargo in mind and trust it will arrive safely. Let us know when it arrives so I can breathe a big sigh of relief. Also, be sure to post pictures of the UPS truck rolling up, unloading the pallet, unwrapping the plastic, unboxing each speaker, and the passing out from the sheer beauty...
Waiting with baited breath!!

Whoa...that is one very well put together pallet with easy to read warning labels for all to read & adhere too...I hope it arrives the same way it left the Ascend wherehouse and safely to your front door.
Congrats man that is one impressive array of speakers coming your way!

Jonathan...where do you live? I bet we can get a group there to "wait" for your delivery.

Paging Jonathan to the white courtesy phone! We need updates! Have they crossed the border? Was the UPS truck chased by moose wanting to sample the bamboo wood? Have the speakers made it safely through Bat Country?
I found a webcam capture of your UPS drivers as they navigated through dangerous territory:
No cost was spared in order to deliver your custom speakers in record time:

They cleared customs and crossed the border just before midnight last night! Delivery should be today.

Re: You Guys Wanna Hear About Some Custom Speakers?
Whelp, we'll both have to bounce off the walls for several more hours. UPS called this morning. For whatever reason, they couldn't schedule the delivery until tomorrow
But, it's all ok. I've got confirmation now that they'll be here between 09:00 and 12 noon tomorrow, and it's my day off, anyway, so it all works out -- haha.

Re: You Guys Wanna Hear About Some Custom Speakers?
Well, that's a bummer. Me thinks the UPS staff just wants to try out your new speakers in the sorting warehouse.
I suppose it's a very minor glitch in the grand scheme of things. Soon this will be a distant blip in your memory... Thanks for the update anyway.
It's nice that you get tomorrow off. I know what you'll be dreaming about tonight!
