Enco shipping comedy

Keep ordering them. Pretty soon you'll have enough of them to do your kitchen counters.

I was actually hoping for a pool table.

Maybe you can get enough to build a house?

Pave your driveway?

Interesting how things change over time.

I bought one of those same granite surface plates from Enco years ago when they had a store in the Seattle area. It came well packed with wood excelsior in a very sturdy wooden crate. I still have the wooden crate and use it to store other things.

I will just bet they still are shipped from China in the wooden crates and someone at Enco repackages them for cheaper shipping! The bean- counters are at work!!!

Exactly, it is after all a solid block of granite. The only way to damage them would be to drop them or drive a forklift into them. The simple cardboard box is plenty adequate protection when there is a stack of them on a palette in a cargo container. It's only when they are handled singly that there is any real risk of damage. I just went and picked my surface plate up in person at a nearby Wholesale Tool location.

I had the same issue when I ordered my surface place, free shipping on over $50.

They had it replaced, shipped via freight, within days. And in perfect condition.

So now I have an almost certified 70lb paperweight.

Counters Ha!

Start stacking them - make a fence around the shop! - Make a Shop! That wall will keep the wolves out!

Whatever you do, use them only for inside projects or your property tax might be raised!

Does Enco pay for the replacements or UPS?

My equivalent one (probably from the same quarry) cost me the equivalent of $240 on special offer in the UK several years ago :-(

One of those could be really handy.

Does it require a free shipping code? If so could you post it?

When I call Enco about the foulup, they charge me a 2nd time for an advance replacement, then they refund the originally purchased item when UPS advises them of the loss. So I assume they get a claim from UPS. And I get traffic multiplied on my credit card. No doubt as a huge UPS customer there is something more streamlined between Enco and UPS than the usual terms and processes endured by small shippers.

Same perpetual monthly deal for free shipping with $50 minimum order.

This month's code is reliably found here:

Doesn't seem to reliable. Sorting by date doesn't turn up anything for this month.

I'll keep looking.

Thanks,

Wes

Somebody does have to ask, though.
