    They probably didn't load it because the extra 2500lbs would have put the truck overweight

    Unbelieveable.

    Oh and the crate doesn't weigh 3000 lbs, that was a "typo in the system".
    I hope the missing crate is not a sign of things to come.

    Maybe their compensating for your trouble by sending a full shop's worth of tools.

    Tell them their favorable comment was in the missing crate.

    How you could post a favorable comment after all this is beyond me. Even with a new jointer that worked as advertised, I would never be satisfied after what has transpired.

    To be fair, it is a different shipper this time. Doesn't make me feel any better, but it is yet another company to deal with in this ongoing adventure...

    This is becoming a story book.......You'll have to write when it's over.......Then it'll become a soap opera...."How the jointer turns"

    Good luck Gary....Sometimes this stuff is more than frustrating and the more companies involved the bigger the headache.

    So much to learn, so little time.....

    Apparently the jointer was loaded on a truck bound for another terminal, but wasn't scanned so it was difficult to say where it was. I'm supposed to hear from the shipper this evening or tomorrow morning regarding delivery.

    Hopefully the tour of wherever it went was uneventful so it will arrive unscathed.

    Stay tuned for this and more updates, as the jointer turns.

    Is this starting to get comical? No I bet not. Hopefully the shipper will make sure to have a liftgate on the truck for free for the extra hassle. Jim.

    Gary,
    Maybe they shipped you a 16" jointer by mistake.

    Apparently the jointer took a little trip to KC. Hopefully I'll hear about delivery dates and times tomorrow...

    Its nice the jointer gets all its wanderlust out before it gets to you, hopefully I'll be in good enough shape to stay with you for a bit....

    Getting to be quite the saga...unfortnately.

    Well that explains where the General Jointer sitting in my driveway came from. It's in perfect shape.

    Hey wait a minute.......I just saw it go through Central CA. Another guy said that he saw it in Seattle Washington.

    Does Andy Hoyt have anything to do with the shipping on this thing?
