Should I be concerned?

My Ceriatone came DHL, and I bought an Akira Takisaki Killer KG Prime from Japan that shipped DHL, NO issues at all.

Told you to just cancel the order from the start. You got bad vibes early on and this proves you were right. You bette pray it gets to you in one piece. I can only imagine the headache to deal with damages with DHL.

Yeah DHL has been a PITA

I've never dealt with them. That guitar is nice bro, hope it all turns out good....

I was really worried it was totally fucked when they wanted you to give DHL power of attorney. I’m glad it arrived safe.

No you're not missing anything. I'm just anxious about it because I asked why they were "giving it a final check" that takes a week. A "final check" takes all of 15 minutes. Now... if they are taking a week to repair something and not disclosing it, that's what I'm concerned about. They do sell a lot of instruments. So maybe it just takes that long. I dunno.

I bought a similar guitar last week from a shop in Chicago. When it arrived, it was scratched up and the guitar desperately needed a setup. Yet the store described it as in "like-new" condition with a perfect setup. I returned it. Sounded great, though. But for the money, I don't want a nice acoustic with buckle rash all over it.

Here's the photo from their website:

Here's what showed up. Maybe I'm too anal. If they had told me about it before hand, maybe I would have been cool. But they didn't. So I sent it back.

You are not too anal. I would have returned it.
