Yorkcraft Mortiser

[Jeffrey Schronce]

This is regular UPS versus freight. I am sorry, my remarks were regarding freight.
The rates on this item are NOT skewed by Wilke. From UPS website shipping 90lb from York PA to residence in:

Baltimore $62.97
Modesto, CA 95350 $78.57

So , I guess it is UPS that has it all screwed up. Also, as I have complained about before, I received a UPS email stating I could look forward to a rate increase in UPS 01/01/07.

You will see bigger % differences in freight charges.

You would think, right? How about from PA to within PA? $57 (same price as MD, BTW)
To me in NY, $59
To Andrew in CA, $69. I'd have to say that MD is not way cheaper than CA, although it should be. I think their rates are a little skewed. Shipping killed the deal for me. I'll keep my Delta...for now .

Now, Jeff, if you wanted to pick up a truckload and distribute them around the Northeast as you have so generously done in the past....

Regards,
Greg

That is why @ $229 and $80 s&h(last mo. price) when I bought, w. no local dealer, the PM701 @$219 total(free s&h)($50 RB,$50 NOVTOOL)@amazon was the decision. Sold out very quickly.
I am glad the Delta fell thu. I was going to buy the Orion/sears at BF for $160 + tx. I di not even want to go near the stores, BB had a line starting at 4pm. on Thanksgiving Day. People are just on another wavelength. I thought this was a family day that was about giving thanks not getting in lines to sleep overnight at stores?
