Quick call them! Fedex is pretty good about having their drivers circle back if you call them early enough.
But, I hate that…happens all the time to me too.
With all do respect Mr. @badbeef, your post (and now, my rebuke) belong over on the Curmudgeon thread.

I’ve seen them put a “sorry we missed you” card in my letter box without even stepping onto my property let alone knocking on my front door.
I get the feeling it is something to do with Most Attempted Deliveries vs. Completed Deliveries.
Feel that. Prolly my most Curmudgeonly post🤠

Kinda depends on the linearray. I didn’t have that issue with these custom built linearrays. They projected a very realistic soundstage, in terms of imagine size.

I get it, Slam-tastic. Size-tastic. They do things that small speakers don’t. Put out a Wavefront of Sound. Much as the IRS-V’s do (times X more drivers and height).
But I never have understood the 9’ Tall saxophone thing. These’ll Pound your Chest. 
Cool.
However, as someone who has a bias for the accuracy of point-ish source speakers’ imaging, I listen to these sort of speakers thinking, “Dang - those drivers’ sounds are not all arriving at my ears at the same time”.
i STILL have a B&O 4001 with the 6001 cartridge that’s sitting in a closet - used one month…
then i got an Oracle (sold the Oracle when i got an NEC CD player).

Badbeef,
It was my understanding that you don’t apply the same physics principles to line sources as you would for point sources.
Point sources radiate sound spherically, so there is a three dimensional dispersion of sound energy…like an explosion from a single point.
Line sources are not normally thought of as multiple point sources in a line, such that, each driver individually radiates spherically. If that were the case you would be correct, the upper and lower drivers would be vertically further from the drivers at ear level resulting in a delayed effect perceived by the listener.
Instead, it was my understanding that, line sources radiate cylindrically with each driver emitting sound energy more or less in a laminar fashion…but in three dimensions as a cylinder. So, in this case all the emitted sound energy from the drivers(in a line) would arrive at the same time.
The physics of true line sources probably require a very specific driver proximity(in a line) to reduce/cancel-out/impede non-laminar sound energy…im not sure…I could also be wrong 
but that is my tenuous understanding.
I usually learn more by someone explaining to me how I’m wrong…so i’m open for a discussion if that is the case.

Same physics.
The more drivers you have, particularly if arrayed in a plane - are all sonically arriving at your ears at different times. If those multiple drivers are arrayed equidistant from your seating position, as with some speaker configurations - maybe not so much.
The Godforsakenly Long Times we’re talking about here in Speakerland are nothing compared to the timing differences a whole bunch of us have heard with the DMP or updates to the DSD.
Badbeef,
So i think line sources and drivers in a plane work in a similar way.
You are correct that all drivers still emit sound energy spherically, I’m not refuting that. What I am saying is the resultant emitted sound energy is laminar.
In the same way that you can adjust the phase angle on your subwoofer. You can think of those as spherical vectors of sound.
So, over simplifying(only thinking of it in terms of a line)…lets look at two drivers - one upper and one lower in a line.
The upper driver would have phase angle 0deg (straight forward), but it would also have phase angle +15deg(up) and phase angle -15deg(down)…etc(infinite degrees because it’s spherical but lets just use 0deg and +/- 15deg in a line).
So the lower driver, that one would have the same phase angle dispersion 0deg(straight forward), but it would also have phase angle +15deg(up) and phase angle -15deg(down).
You will notice that the upper driver’s phase angle of -15deg(down) will meet with the lower drivers phase angle of +15deg and they will cancel out because they are perfectly out of phase and will null each other out.
The resultant sound energy is laminar…this is true with a plane so the sound energy would be normal to the plane. The line source of course would be cylindrical with the resultant sound energy being being emitted in a laminar fashion in a circle with hight ‘h’…so in 3 dimensions its a cylinder like I said.
What do you think of that?..I did pull it out of my butt…but it makes sense to me.

AFAIK I said nothing with regard to that, and then stopped reading your post after that, sorry.

What?
never mind
Did you change what I said in your quote?
I didn’t even say what you said…that I said.
I didn’t say - “Line Sources ARE drivers in a plane. That was my point.”
Why did you change my what i said and then quote me?
That was my response to the prior line, but for some reason it showed up as if it was in your quote. Apologies.
Can you delete it or change it then?
Tried.
I’m done in any case. No idea why it showed as it did.
In my opinion the speakers look good, not ugly nor breathtaking in terms of design and aesthetics. I find the trim around the drivers to be beautiful
I would prefer a more tradition base plate as a stand with spikes or whatever to keep them looking slim/sleek.
Lastly every time I look at these speaker it reminds me of my PC case, it looks like two of my case stacked up on top of each other.
