Shopsmith has really stepped up their shipping times. I just ordered a new PowerPro Headstock yesterday 1/31 and It is being shipped today 2/1. I was expecting at least 3 to 4 weeks before they would ship.
Has anyone else experienced this quick of a turn around?

Re: Fast Shipping
I have not purchased anything that significant but what I have ordered has been in the shipping channels within a work or two at the most.
They are working through their issues (whatever they were).

Re: Fast Shipping
Dusty,
I have too in the past ordered smaller items and within a day or 2 they were shipped. This just surprised me
that within 1 day a new Powerpro headstock was shipped out. I wasn't planning on it being shipped that fast. 
.. Guess i need to get busy preparing for it..

Re: Fast Shipping
That is a really good sign. Maybe they are selling so many that they have decided to keep some in stock rather than building to order.joe_cool wrote:Dusty,

Re: Fast Shipping
Maybe sales have slowed down to where they are keeping up.

Re: Fast Shipping
Quick shipping like that says that Shopsmith had the part in stock so they could ship right away.
I recently ordered a part too, and it was in stock and shipped the next working day. If they wouldn't have had it in stock, I would have had to wait until they had one. When I made the order, the website indicated that the part was in stock, and it was right.

I can see this for any small parts they have but a powerpro Headstock. The only thing i can think of is maybe they have a few headstock to build Mark 7's in stock so they could just ship mine.
At any case I am ecstatic
Re: Fast Shipping
I bought a few things recently, tall DC bag, lower bags, a couple other things. Got them Thursday after ordering on Saturday or Sunday; quick indeed.

Re: Fast Shipping
I ordered a DIY PowerPro Upgrade on 3 Feb (from Mike Young @ the Lowe's demo) and it shipped yesterday. It is scheduled to be delivered on Saturday, 11 Feb.
I called customer service on Monday 6 Feb and was told the PP DIY upgrades are not put together until they are ordered and there is usually a 3 to 4 week wait between ordering and delivery. Surprise! Surprise! Order to shipping in my case was 5 days and order to delivery will be 8 days! I'm a very happy camper!!
Hope the upgrade goes as smooth as the first one I did a few years back.
