Latest shopsmith experence, i.e. Lowes Demo

Post by reible »

Hi,

On Thursday April 11 I ventured out to the Rockford Lowes for the shopsmith demo. I really wasn't going for the demo because I've seen it a few times already, and, well I have the new powerpro/dual tilt/etc and I can demo it for myself if I want to.

I was interested in making a purchase which Mike Young wrote up for me. It was about noon or maybe a little after.

Last night, April 12 I got a call from the shipper saying I had a Saturday delivery that needing signing for. The answering machine picked it up so I wasn't to sure what of the things I have on order was arriving.

This morning email had a note from shopsmith that my order shipped.... Well so this story doesn't get too long.... Before noon today my shopsmith order arrived!

You can count this as impressive!

I ordered my double tilt and lift assist from Mike on a Sat, and received it the next Thursday. Was very impressed. :)

On April 2, I ordered a Speed Reducer from Shopsmith and received it on April 4. Many times in the past I have had to cancel orders for basic items for my Shopsmith because they were back ordered and no idea when it would arrive, and go look for what I needed elsewhere.
