Delivery Dates for March?

I am patiently waiting.
I don't think our reps, nor my fellow purchasers should put much weight on the impatient among us. It is a dauntingly HUGE task to do what the EVERLAST reps are doing to get the goods. ANYONE could hurry through an inspection, let someone else do it, skip it because there wasn't a problem with the last batch...it takes a truly dedicated group to push back a date because it's the right thing to do.

You guys at EVERLAST tell me when you think they are ready, and I'll patiently wait until you think those green machines are ripe enough to ship.

Sour grapes, low hanging fruit, tortoise and hare, grasshopper and ants...some of the impatient amongst us seem to have missed the valuable life lessons.

dgarnier,

If you want to look at a Diversion 180, we do have the 185's in stock. But they will be here quick as possible.

That is kind of disapointing to hear that when I was told at the time I paid on Feb 3, it would be aproximatley 4 weeks now it's looking like it's gonna be doubling that plus some. I believe when you tell a customer a number you should be confident in it not a maybe, If I was in there situation I would be telling the customers a longer than expected time so its there at least by that time and if its early the customer is gonna be even happier.
No hard feelings I hope just had to voice my opinion.

RYAN,
We have been very clear here on this board, that any times are estimations...There are manufacturing schedules and shipping schedules that get pushed back from time to time...There are things we can't help. Going back to our last shipment, we discussed this very clearly. Its a fact of dealing internationally.

Where is this shipment going? I was hoping to have the unit here by that time but depending on where the units will ship to us from may still get it to me close to that date.

I am not too concerned with the delivery time frame on mine I have plenty of other projects and things I can occupy my self with. I am good with this knowing how much money I am saving and still getting a high quality unit. If I was running a business or needed the welder pronto I would have gone somewhere, where what I needed was stocked and paid through the nose for the instant gratification. I can wait LOL. The guys at Everlast sound like they are doing their best to keep us informed. afaik not many people can rush anything through customs short of the government, ships hit rough seas and QC takes time. it all adds up.

Relax and let your mind explore the potential it has for patience ....... hahahaha I wrote that and after reading it it sounds stupid as hell. yep I'm a weird one

Back on the 22nd Oleg was vary firm on the 3 week time frame as well. Then I have to find out on a web site that I am now looking at almost 6 weeks.

agreed.
after doing just a smidge of research, it was obvious that the delievery times are never 100%, the guys here just try and give us theyre best estimate.
its to be expected with things of this nature, and the frieght shipping and customs stuff thats invlolved.

hell, when i ordered some "japan only" front end parts for my celica years back, i waited 8 months for one foglight! and thats thru toyota!
i feel like alex and crew do theyre best to use this forum to help keep those of us that are waiting informed with what they believe to be honest and accurate information.

The ship will come into dock a few blocks from the Home office in San Francisco... Keep in mind, this is not a one stop direct ship from coast to coast. There are ports along the route picking up and dropping off. The recent nuclear disaster in Japan may have the ship bouncing from a normal pattern as well, though I cannot say for sure.
