  2. The manufacturer seal on this OEM box has not been broken.
  3. They have not been sold (they are new).
  4. These new speakers have unopened OEM boxes that may have some small dents or blemishes that would not have made contact with the speaker but may have increased the amount of travel the speaker has inside the box.
  5. The OEM boxes may also have other cosmetic blemishes (such as removed stickers) that should not impact the function of the speaker.
  6. While double boxed, they were shipped singly, instead of together in a larger box. So you can hear and feel the speaker traveling inside the new OEM box more than you usually would. Upon request, we can open and reinforced/repair the OEM box internally to secure the speaker for transport after inspecting the speaker per below.

Celestion A-type 16 Ohm guitar speaker
Celestion’s specs for the Celestion A-type 16 Ohm Guitar speaker boast:

Celestion guitar speakers have been an important part of British guitar
tone since the birth of Rock Roll. Traditionally, they’re known for
lively and vocal midrange character with plenty of sparkle and chime, which
turns into an exciting growl when overdriven, often compressing when pushed
hard.

Inspired by our favourite modern American tones, the A-Type is a
different kind of guitar speaker from Celestion. Of course, it still has
the musical and revealing three- dimensional quality that is the heart and
soul of a Celestion guitar speaker, however it features a more laid-back
midrange which reveals body and complexity in the upper register,
accompanied by full and rounded low frequencies.

The A-Type conveys a fluid, even performance with an increased headroom threshold that allows your amp’s tone to shine through. Clean players will love the smooth
articulation; for rockers the brooding, powerful low end threatens thunder
that’s only a heavy riff away!

Fast Shipping Options:
We provide free shipping. Contact us if there are no options in this listing for expedited shipping. NOTE:  with UPS Ground your item will only begin postal transit (hit the mail stream) after 6pm PST weekdays - regardless of what time it is dropped off with or picked up by UPS that day.

Flexible Fulfillment:  We have a variety of shipping methods for fulfilling your order.  We may use the most efficient method for your case - and pass along our savings to you! Contact us for discounts on larger orders.

Delivery:
1. The guitar speaker can only be shipped to your shipping address specified in the eBay system. So verify that before you order.
2. Look for your tracking number in the email from us that will confirm shipment.
3. Watch for your speaker(s).  If you ordered more than one speaker, look for a regular or recycled brown cardboard box.  If you ordered one it will likely arrive in a white poly mailer bag.

4. Once you open that cardboard box, you sift through any packing material. Under it (or the poly mailer bag), you will discover the manufacturer's (OEM) box. Inside the manufacturer's box is/are the guitar speaker(s).  

Buyer's Delivery Info. / Address

Since free shipping does not include Shipping Insurance or Signature Service, the seller will have no recourse to pursue with UPS should you fail to provide a secure, private, and valid shipping address within the eBay system before you make your purchase.  Contact us before purchasing to request signature service for UPS Ground if you are concerned about the safety and security of your specified private delivery location, or if your purchase total exceeds $750 US. 

We reserve the right cancel orders with delivery address information that appear to be:
1. International - shipping outside the contiguous domestic United States, unless shipped via eBay Global (now also called International) Shipping Program (this requires a 10-digit phone number). While we've opted into this program you'll need to contact eBay for questions or support. International buyers must be proficient in business English and will be notified by us when the package is delivered to the eBay Global Shipping Program's domestic United States address, which completes our end of the shipping process, and our responsibilities in the transaction.  eBay ships it internationally from there.  eBay will not ship the item internationally if it arrives to them in a damaged box.  These boxes will show significant damage before the speakers themselves will become damaged.  So if you receive it damaged, it was damaged during international shipping.  The international buyer agrees to contact eBay exclusively regarding any such international shipping costs or returns since this seller does not support or offer international shipping.
2. Invalid - Our shipping software alerts us if the address doesn't really exist or is not verified. Buyers mistype, omit, get overly creative, specific, or forget to update or select their preferred delivery address.
3.Un-Insured and over $750.

Returns

Before opening mfg. box:
1. Inspect shipping bag, box and mfg. box to photo any (rare) shipping damage*
2. Verify part # on mfg. box for compatibility.
 
After opening:
Open-box returns are considered by eBay's return policy as a used or installed electronic component. If you discover that you have ordered the wrong part after opening the manufacturer's box, please contact us as soon as possible to see if we have a replacement/exchange in equivalent condition. Otherwise, a partial refund can only be assessed upon inspection of the returned item.
 
*Shipping Damage:
Look for any shipping damage, and do not open the shipping package if you see it. Seller will approve and handle any return shipping costs and arrangements as long you promptly let us know it arrived damaged per the more detailed instructions emailed to buyers. 

Exclusions

Guitar Tone

Guitar Tone Samples

Our aim is to ensure that the tone of our guitar speakers CAN match the tone expected by the guitar community. Celestion and other manufacturers provide guitar tone samples for you to listen to, specs, and sometimes videos for you to review before you purchase. Typically, you begin your hunt for guitar tone samples on any guitar speaker's specifications page (see link above).

Guitar Tone Skills

Any buyer who does not already know this product takes responsibility for: Finding, sampling, and recreating the tone they seek. This guitar speaker is one of many important building blocks of your guitar tone (sold separately): Including your (1) guitar playing ability, (2) amp, (3) guitar (4) pedals/effects, etc. This guitar speaker should give you the analog space that you need to let your true guitar tone shine. It will not make you play as well as the guitarists performing the guitar tone samples. Seriously, no bad feedback, returns, or issues in eBay over tone issues.

Replacement Guitar Speakers

More modern and higher quality speakers may broadcast any imperfections in your tone chain that the older speakers you are replacing did not. Have your entire rig serviced before your purchase so that you only hear more of the good things in your tone chain. 

Electric Guitar Tone

Celestion's website provides information on how to break in a guitar speaker. This should be done before using any guitar speaker. This ensures that the speaker provides true tone and proper function over time.
