I picked up my new Grizzly G0766 yesterday. Got a bit of a scare, I had it on order since January and have endured multiple changes in delivery date. a couple weeks ago the Estimated shipping date changed from March 23rd to March 9th. Awesome! March 9th came and went. On Tuesday they changed it to the 19th. Ok I can deal with that. Yesterday I checked again on the order page and the estimated ship date was gone. OK so I'm thinking it's ready to be picked up.
I called CS and the first agent tells me she is seeing a May 29th estimated shipping date. My heart sank, since I knew a couple other creekers had confirmed tracking info. I asked if there was someone else that might have better info. She transferred me to someone else, who confirmed that yes May 29th was the new date.
I hung up to consider options. I spoke to my chief counselor, CFO and spiritual guide (wife). Her suggestion was that if I wanted the lathe now, I had one option, spend about $1200 more for the G0799, and she was ok with that!! (I think I will keep her another 35 years!)
So I called CS again to see if they would honor the coupon code I used to buy the G0766. She pulled up my order and proceeded to tell me that her computer is telling her that my lathe in ready to be picked up!! What??!!??
Apparently, when I called earlier they were in the process of checking it in and allocating it. So they had removed the shipping info and were adding the pickup info. What CS saw at that time was the next scheduled delivery date for the next batch.
So, I grabbed the trailer and ran up there. Loaded up and came home with a huge smile on my face!!
