Jet Cabinet Saw $753.97 - 3hp Xacta Fence

[Jeffrey Schronce]

coming via Eagle USA (says estimated arrival 5/24). Really hoping they'll drop it via liftgate at my garage. Going to need you guys to help out on where to put it...I'll post some pics in a seperate thread this weekend.

I hope they don't turn it over to Eagle Residential or Eagle Home or whatever they call those stupid subcontractors! They are pathetic.

I agree...that is BS. I've been that route before with Amazon - always gotten different answers depending on who I spoke with. I've always hung up and dialed again until I got the aanswer I needed, then confirmed who I spoke with.

I would also DEFINITELY call AMEX if that what you used. AMEX has bailed me out of bad purchases in the past. Call them and explain the situation - many times they will fight it on your behalf.

BTW - I just got a shipment confirmation from Amazon for the saw (not yet the blade- not worried - no 220 electrical yet anyways) coming via Eagle USA (says estimated arrival 5/24).

I just talked to a very high level guy at Amazon who informs me that there WILL BE A CHARGE TO REFUSE SHIPMENT. He said any information to the contrary is not correct and will not be honored.

He claimed that my order went into a non-cancellable state the same day I ordered it. I would have sworn that at the moment I placed my 2nd order the 1st one was still cancellable, however he claims that I am mistaken and that it was only the blade that could be cancelled. What's odd is that the blade is no longer part of the order, so I guess they went and cancelled that for me instead of the saw!

Anyway, I am not planning to eat $150 shipping and neither are they. Will have to find some other solution I guess.

That is pure BS. I understand that the blade has already shipped for myself and a few other people. I don't believe the saw went into production before the blade.

Also, I have heard time and again that the standard procedure is to refuse shipment. Punch a hole in the side of the box and refuse shipment.

Man if I only had the money for all these tablesaw deals. I have a 10% code for Amazon good until tomorrow.

We will see, I have the names of two people I spoke to that assured me, without a doubt that they will refund the shipping charge.
AMEX will have to be my friend if need be

Oooooh, people like you.....

Just trying to convince myself that I did the right thing

UPDATE
Sold my old Jet 10" Contractors saw for $450, only paid $150 for it new at Lowes on Super Clearance... So the new saw will only cost $900

Glad to hear about the lift gate. That will help a lot of folks.

BTW, looks like the deal is done. No longer accepting orders.

[JBD]

I've received three 300 plus lb shipments via Amazon in the last several months and they all came with a lift gate truck and the driver put it right where I wanted it. They all called ahead in most cases, the evening prior to delivery.

Thats been my experience as well.

[Jeffrey Schronce]

I think Jeffrey is getting a commission.

Nope. BT3central is getting the commission. Should be nice too!

On delivery, I do know that they call ahead to schedule delivery. They have to because you have to sign off on no damage to container, etc. I maybe confusing this with Grizzly. Grizzly shipped UPS/Overnight Freight and lift gate was an additional charge if desired. Luckily I have access to a loading dock and forklift so that problem is solved!
