Posted May 21, 201510 yr Posting this for a friend.. His 2 18 inch recones shipped in a 16 inch box both crammed in with no type of protection other than wrapped in plastic. We know it's just the surround that is bent but those things aren't cheap and they used to be shipped WAY better.
May 21, 201510 yr My zcon recone had blandex or however its spelled lol mounted inside the box with a peace of wood screwed to it,just small enough to go thru the center of voicecoil w foam pading in there.it had another peace of blandex screwed to it on top Edited May 21, 201510 yr by garychurch84

Recones are not cheap and he waited like 2 months for them. Luckily the cones and coils were not damaged as far as we can tell.
May 21, 201510 yr Yea and the recones just went up almost 50 bucks to. . So cost more and worse shipping
May 21, 201510 yr Every recone I've bought from SSA/Fi has been crammed like that as well. But no biggie, they go back flat when they sit and you are gluing them down anyway
May 21, 201510 yr never bought a recone from anyone... but, id not be happy with that shit.... just me..
May 22, 201510 yr I was just concerned because iv ordered recones from them befor and had really solid packaging

May 22, 201510 yr Admin Sorry, I was out of the office most of yesterday (an ULTRA rare occasion). As for shipping the recones, they will settle and glue down just fine as the surround is very flexible by design. Prices on recones have not changed for quite a long time, we unlike most other brands have held our pricing steady, while costs go up. I will find out why those were shipped with no protection or stand.

May 22, 201510 yr I am sure Aaron or mark will get to the bottom of it.. Still nothing wrong with the re-cones like what was stated the will lay fine when glued to the baskets.

Like I stated he will take care of it I am sure...And wait time on a product that is in demand and trumps the computition may take some time...The demand takes factor as I am sure the re-cone kit from some shaddy manufactures you might have got sooner...
