Wine-a-dor Project Frustration

[pfm721]

Avanti Arrived: Check
ETC Arrived: Check
2 lbs. Beads: Check

Avanti Sent Back: Check

I was all excited to get started on this project and then I realized that the wine cooler had been damaged in shipping:angerFU:. The company sent me a return label but I now have to wait another week. Just needed to get the frustration out a little.

I know what you mean. This has never happened to me but I worked for a department store and they had a trucker that drove for them and he always threw boxes didn't care what was in it. He broke a few open. A department store is different but I was shocked at how careless people can treat you packages you never know what is going to happen to them.

Sorry to hear the bad news brother. Don't worry you'll be set up in no time. I have an Avanti so hit me up if you have any questions.

PC Richards, which is in New York, is where I got it. I don't really have any complaints other than that I have to wait. The shipping was free (guess I know why) and they sent me a return label so I could ship back to them. At the time it was just annoying cause I was ready to get started on the project.

i've got a really sweet vinotemp with a little dent for 50 bucks that works like a charm!

My first wineador was a smaller 12 bottle Avanti--and even though I bought it at Target, it was damaged inside the sealed box. I had to take it back and exchange it.

It seems none of these wine coolers have much protective packaging; my VInotemps didn't have much more than a thin sheet of styrofoam, which is totally inadequate for shipping purposes.

Lots of brothers poised and ready to help on this project Patrick.

Sorry to hear about the delay... it can be frustrating!! The good news is that it will be worth the wait.

Well the company sent me a return label and I sent the unit back. Today I received my replacement and it too is damaged. :cursing::cursing: At this point I have emailed customer service to see if they'll just give me money back and treat it as a scratch and dent. We'll see. Good thing I'm about to go to my favorite beer bar in town and have some St. Bernardus Abt 12 from the tap.

you can see the damage in the pics below.

Dude that does suck. Who did you order from. I got mine from compact appliances I think and it was perfect. Of course it last about 3.5 years and then stopped cooling.
