Check your email b/c as on other forums all are getting "....there is a delay on your order..." will be cancelled by searsmart no doubt.

I haven't even gotten an email confirmation of the order. Gonna be pretty disappointed if it comes back cancelled.

I've been wanting a new DP for a long time, and the price is great. Asking SWMBO and LOML if I can get it.

you have to ask both your wife AND your daughter or mistress if you can get a drill press?

Got the "...delay in processing..." email ...

Called Sears customer service ... asked what's up ... they checked and SAID "...everything is OK and you should get your receipt email soon ..."

Now I'm reading on here that "other forums" are seeing same "delay in processing" emails ... so ... has anyone actually managed to take possession of one of these at this price? I'm gonna be an upset hombre if they cancel this deal!!

I ask my dog and if she wags her tail, that means that I did good in already ordering it. ....Works every time and the dog has never growled at me yet!!!! She is a good dog!!

I jumped on one of these and just picked it up at my local Sears store. It's sitting in the back of my Forester right now.

Thanks,

I have been fighting most of the morning with my local sears store cause I want to go get one over lunch and I will not make the drive if they will not honor their price. They are telling me they do not honor online pricing (cause I want to buy and pay for it at the store) SO I am waiting on a call from the store manager about this and I will have news by 2pm as to weather I am an owner of this tool or not

FINALLY got confirmation email ... called Sears TWICE!

OK not sure what's going on but I DID finally get the email confirming ready for pickup ... and you can bet I am not going to let the door hit nme in the butt as I go get it!

I did in fact call Sears TWICE (customer service) and finally made them call the store to confirm they had it for me .. the person on the phone kept telling me her system showed it was ready but until just a couple of minutes ago ... I hadn't gotten the 2nd confirming email ...

Out the door .........

Hey Wiseguy4,
Just place your order from the website and choose "Pick Up" instead of "Delivery". Click on "Check Availability" and type in your Zip Code, choose the store and the transaction (payment) will done on their website.

Print out your email confirmation, take it to the store and you're done. You don't have to involve anyone at the store level as far as the pricing goes.

It worked for me!

I cant. I am at work and can not order online. Apparently the price is a mistake. It was supposed to be 50 bucks off and sell for 479.99. This is the instore sale price. And in store sears will not honor online pricing. I called and spoke to the store manager finally on my third call and she said she is looking into this as it has already been brought to her attention. And she said that what they will do is let me come in and use a sears computer to buy it online. Then she said that they have 3 in stock right now and once I place my order online at the store and pay for it, they will pull it from stock and I can walk out with it. This is teh plan and I hope things go this way. The store manager knows my ETA and also has my cell number. SO I hope things go according to the plan. Even my wife knows about this one and said "just get it cause you are going to get it anyway no matter what I say!" I told her she is the Bestestest

Two listed on CL los angeles for $350
Maybe they can purchase online for store pickup leave there, and just send their Cl buyer to sears to pickup
I once had to leave an air compressor at sears for 2 weeks due to problems with my vehicle to pick up. They had my money so didn't really care to store it for me.

[SparkyInMaine]

It's a heck of a deal and hope you can take advantage of it. I wasn't aware it's a pricing mistake. How come I don't feel badly for Sears if it was a mistake?

Good luck Wiseguy4.

Wow. Talk about a great deal. I got an order in, we'll see if I wind up with a tool (I was going to say "in hand", but either way that could be the outcome).

Still shows as available (throught the 13th) at the $179 price on the Sears web site as of 12:53 PM EDT.

The spec page on this is very limited. Can anyone tell me the weight and the assembled height of this press?
My workspace is kinda small. Thanks.
