Shipping Issues - Cancelling Order

Sonsos.  What is going on with shipping???  I just cancelled a $1,500 order because no one can give me a straight answer on what is going on.  Just “waiting and supply chain” noise.  I mean this is what, 3 years in, and that's still your excuse.  Nowhere on the order page was any of that mentioned?  I feel like you are trying to pull a fast one hoping I will sit for weeks waiting.  

Can someone please give me a straight answer.  I still want the product and have other Sonos products, but this is really spooking me and making me consider changing course.

I was charged immediately. 

Maybe it’s a PayPal thing then, I wasn’t charged on my debit card until the order was shipped.

You can always speak to the Sonos Sales Staff via this link about your order:

So next question for everyone.  How long did it take Sonos to receive your items after sending them back? 

 

They were delivered early on 6/22 and so far one out of two items has been received even though they were delivered at the same time.  I know I am probably overthinking it, but my expectations are super low at this point.  I will say the RMA process was very easy which is great.

A while back people were waiting months after paying for Arc's, other's were just rolling up and buying them from the shops.. 

It seems you may be better off buying from a retailer..

I wish I could.   Problem is I have like 6 15% off codes I need to burn.  I wish Sonos would allow those to be used at a retailer somehow.  It would solve so many issues.

I was told the refurbished Beam (gen 1) I purchased on 6/5 is backordered. I don’t believe this, as I’ve previously observed that they just remove items from being available for purchase as refurbished if they don’t have them available. It’s still listed on the website.

So refund went smoothly and return process was easy.  I will say they are solid for returns.  I am just surprised the purchasing process is such a mess.

You can buy an Arc from a  few well known retailers in the UK £100 cheaper than Sonos with next day delivery, that's 11% off just by shopping around (and it will arrive next day..).

My product finally shipped, it took 25 days from the initial order. Good luck all!

Wow, that is an insane lead time in the age of two day shipping.  I really hope they tighten it up soon.  I love the Sonos ecosystem but think they need to get out of direct sales altogether.  It is obviously not their strong suit.  Maybe figure out a way to do targeted coupons with a retailer to honor the upgrade offers?  Refurbs through a retailer?
