Bose very poor service

Options
I ordered A bose Wave system with some headphones and it came today , the box was all damaged and the tape had come off so it could of actually fell out...the packaging was very poor not what i expect when i just paid over £500....all dented in on outer packaging.

Even the Wave system was only protected by a bit of plastic which was damaged , unit has not plastic covering at all ....which makes me wonder if its used?

I also found my free dvd player was missing , Bose now tell me they have non in stock yet and will send it at later date...yet they never bothered to inform me until i chased this up.

They assure me its a new unit but if it is second hand then its a mistake because of the Xmas rush.....they said i could replace it if i like , but i don't have time to be messing around waiting in for delivery drivers...it already took 2 weeks for delivery...i found out as well from UPS that it was imported.


I may just send it back all together because the sound does not sound that good at all compared to my normal cheap CD player.

Maybe its a one off? as from the reviews i read this is suppose to be great :confused:

I ordered a spare large remote incase the remote what came with it was to small , wished i had not bothered as the large remote is quite vile looking and lot bigger then i was expecting.

I really disappointed with Bose , i get better packaging on CDs i order through the post.

Btw is it normal for this Wave system just to come in a plain white box? as i am a bit worried incase i have someone elses return

    what do you want?
    they have offered to replace it if you are not happy[you obviously are not].
    so take up their offer of a replacement.
    As for the colour of the box I am not sure,they may only send out second hand stuff in white boxes and save the fancy ones for the new stuff.

    ok .. the bose from new, does only come in a plain white box, it is supported internally by a plastic case, quite thin though..
