Another Amazon Failure February 7, 2007
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
I've recently talked to a seller on Ebay who had high praises for this planer. The only knock I've heard is the blades can't be sharpened. That's why I'm giving it four stars. I ordered mine four months ago and have been notified by Amazon that it will be another month before delivery. In fairness to Amazon they have answered my emails on the delay. They say the order is being processed and have apologized and offered me a $20 credit for my trouble. They still advertise a 4 to 6 week delivery in their listing for the tool. Hummmmm, anyway, I plan on using the planer to clean up dimensioned timbers for a house I'm building. The Ebay seller I contacted thinks that's a good application. When I get the planer I'll write a more indepth review.
And it continues----Just got notified by Amazon of another delay. we're approaching 6 months now. I talked to a customer rep and she suggeted I buy from someone else that I'll probably never get the planer as Amazon doesn't sell it any more. She also said she has no way of making up price differences if I go to another seller (e.g. Tyler Tool). Still they adverise it available within 4 to 6 weeks so I'm going to wait. When I asked who I could talk to about the delay, She suggestet I write the CEO, Mr. Bezso. Now that was a useful suggestion. I'm sure I'd be Mr. Bezso top priority.
