And still waiting for our GF Drill 20 to be delivered.

Hell, I have been waiting that long for some Kaiser aluminum extrusion that used to take 4 weeks to have on our floor.

Shane,

I'm usually a technical, nut-and-bolts guy, as far as offering any advice here, but with 30 years of sales-management experience, I'd like to help on this subject if I can.

I can't help but be curious about...

1) The T&C's of your purchase order.
2) The explanation(s) given to you for the delivery/installation delay(s).
3) If this is an example of their Sales-Department service, what kind of response can you expect from their Service-Department?
4) How you have somehow managed for 7 months without this machine?. (Do you really need it and have you examined other sources?)

Just curious. Hope it all turns our well for you.

Bud

Hi Bud,

When we purchased the machine we were told 6-8 week delivery.

Their reason is the machine is still in transit from Europe.

Marcus Machinery sold us the machine.

This machine is replacing an old machine. Fortunately the old machine is still in service and operational.

Curious about your remaining patience (You're tougher than I am).
Bud

lol... the machine was installed 3 weeks ago. Super nice machine as well. Being able to load a dxf with all the start hole locations is great.
