That's really the risk you take when you buy online or over the phone. Personally I buy plenty of stuff online and have had very few problems. I would never buy an item that large without a hands on inspection unless I'd done biz with them before.

If your so interested in saving money (I assume that's why you didn't buy it locally), buy one on one of the local foo foo shops when they have the yearly clearance sales.

Also, 3k in my opinion is worth hiring an attorney taking a road trip to Eddies or hopping on a plane to see them.
