Well, it started back in October, when Redmond had a special going on American made Delta 14" Bandsaws (28-299).......$489....not shabby at all. My sweet bride allows me to get this as my Christmas present :D . At the time of purchase (October), I don't have my garage/shop/carriage house built yet, so Redmond says "no problem, we'll store it for you even if it takes nine months". OKAY! Store it I said, after paying for it.
Now the garage/shop/carriage house is complete enough, and I'm populating the shop with my long stored tools. I called Redmond on Tuesday to notify them that I was coming to fetch my meager 14" BS. After some SERIOUS apologies and warehouse searching, they notified me that they had sold my previously purchased saw. To their credit, the staff couldn't stop apologizing, and promised that the next shipment of Delta reconditioned saws would have mine in it. The kicker is, the model 28-299 is no longer available, and I'll have to get by with the 28-475X..........that's right, and X5 model at no cost to me!! WOOHOO! I'll have to live with an extra .5 hp in the motor, but I'll manage some how. Also, they said that for my troubles, they'd deliver it to me, gratis.
