Well, that's not OK. "Shipment damaged and will not be delivered."So things go bad. A truck might've run over the box.I call up customer service... "No problem, I can have one out to you in the middle of November.":shock:I ask to talk to someone else and get the same line. Something more or less along the lines of "get to the back of the line."That's not cool. That's not cool at all. The fact that likely the packaging failed is not my fault at all. It's as if I was shipped a defective unit and the repair would be a month and a half away.I pulled out the big guns and shot off an email -- as a civilian, not an Amazon employee.By mid afternoon I had a call that a new one is on the way and I'll get it on Friday. I'll have a review then.  :-)
