I had a 510->520 upgrade kit on order that I ended up cancelling. They said that they were looking at shipping it the middle of march. Since I was able to "upgrade" to the 520 via craigslist I cancelled my order before it shipped. When I spoke to customer service they were indicating that they were shipping the upgrades in the order in which they were received.

500 to 520 upgrade

Post by randythewoodchuck »

I ordered the 500 to 520 upgrade when offered as an email special on 2/26. I contacted them the next week and was told they were on back order and would be in on 3/12. I called again on Monday of this week and was told that part of the upgrade was not yet in and would be in on 3/26. So it is a waiting game. I've always received back orders eventually, and lately it has been a shorter wait. My suggestion is, as like everyone else, give Shopsmith a call and see what they have to say.
