Best place to get B&K Ref 30 upgrade?

Max-


I know that B&K was having problems with getting the faceplate part in, but for a while they were telling people that they could upgrade and that they would send the faceplate when it came in.


I also read that they were telling potential upgraders that they could wait to have the upgrade done until the faceplates were ready.


Either way, my understanding was that faceplates were included with the upgrade.


Your note seems to indicate that B&K reversed course and decided not to include a faceplate in the upgrade. Is that correct or is it that they just don't have the faceplates in (if you know)?


Thanks,

Any article of payment can be forged or stop payments can be placed upon them, even M/O & cashiers checks.

In today's computer age it only takes a few minutes to produce an authentic looking check. I agree that time to clear draft payments are reasonable for any non local transactions.

fyi: anyone that sends a check of any form, it does help the receiving party if you include a contact phone number to the facility that the check is drawn from. Anyone that accepts checks for payment will understand.

Once the check has been placed for deposit, the depositing bank can not confirm that the check has indeed been paid via the federal reserve.

The depositing bank can only confirm that the check has not been returned unpaid. Checks can take up to three weeks to come back as unpaid.

With the contact information at hand, B&K can retrieve this paid information in a more timely manner, most banks including Bank of America can & will supply the date that the article was paid & would be willing to help identify the authenticity of such a draft. I understand this kind of sucks, but so does bad drafts when they happen.

Since B&K does not normally sell directly to the end users, I'd almost be certain that they are not setup with a check insurance/cashing service.

As dealers are pre-screened & credit verifications are done at the onset.

This information can be a huge time saver with any on-line sale/purchase.

Sometimes its best to use a U.S. Postal Money Order, they just seem to be less trouble for the recipient.

Jerry,


I think you missed the point or maybe I was unclear. I know all of that but I ASKED when I got my RA if a bank cashiers check was ok and they said fine. They didn't say there would be a delay plus they DID NOT call me back. They have had the check for over two weeks. At what point am I supposed to take action (or were they never going to do anything-actually they still haven't). They didn't call me I had to call them and they still haven't let me know if they are waiting for a period of time, what that period of time is or they have lost the check or my paper work or what-I am in the dark. It is poor customer service anyway you slice it. If they have to wait x days, fine, tell me that. No offense but I have been in business myself (part of it in the collection business) and I really don't need to be told about fraud, bad checks etc.. FOr that matter, U.S. Postal money orders can be stolen and forged etc. I just want to be notified and I don't think that is too much to ask.


Oh, and one more thing-the dealer that sold it to me went bankrupt and if he was screened it was poor as I know quite a bit about the dealer and they were authorized (and he is now back in business under a new name). This was NOT an online purchase. It was purchased along with Triad speakers and an EAD DVD player. B&K has a pretty liberal dealer policy
