The packaging arrived in a very poor condition it looked as if the two speaker boxes had been kicked or hit with a sharp object there were holes in both the boxes that the speakers came in fortunately the speakers themselves were not damaged one of the speakers were packed in a box that showed a different speaker on the outside of the box, the speaker stands were poorly packed in a box that looked as if it had been thrown about and walked on and was split open down the side. I was going to give these as a present, but couldn't give them in the boxes not a good way to promote your company. Maybe they were damaged in transit if so I would recommend you use a different carrier
