    Shipping time

    Has anyone else ordered a lathe from Woodcraft.com? If so how long did it take to get it? I just got a email that it was on the truck. Still don't know which carrier is hauling it.

    A few months ago, I bought a Rikon 70-100 from Woodcraft (on sale)...and it took about 3-4 days to receive it. Woodcraft sent me a tracking no., as I recall it was with UPS. The amazing thing to me is that they only charged $10 for shipping...about what they charge for something weighing 70-80 lbs less.

    Bobby, why do you need air conditioning before you can use your lathe?



    Oh wait......I just noticed you're in Texas. Nevermind........

    Hubby had a heat/ac pump put in my shop before I used my lathe

    Ok I talked to Woodcraft again when I ordered a new chuck. They have no ideal when my lathe will ship. All they know is the order was sent to Jet. According to the CSR I talked to. She said I would have to call Jet to find out when it would ship and it could be as long as 20 to 30 days before it ships.

    Ok My question is who is Jet and how do I call them??

    Answers straight and crooked

    My experience with woodcraft has been excellent. If it's from them directly, the stuff gets to me within two days or less, and I can track it. Of course their warehouse is in WV and from there to VA or SC, isn't very far. Also the ferry to my house leaves every two minutes. As for Jet, he's the fellow who got fired from Ryobi for making quality stuff. If you google you can get Jet's no. Good luck with your lathe, Hilel.

    Whine and Cry...Whine and Cry I'm just north of you in Spring and no air. That didn't stop that Ole "Idaho Boy" from letting the sweat pour when he took Beauty for a ride. Even without the air conditioning you can have some fun!!
