    Mis-shipment

    I'm actually pretty familiar with shipping contracts as I have shipped many items including containers to Hawaii. FOB addresses which parties pay the shipping costs and which are liable for damage or loss incurred resulting from shipping. It does not release (nor have I ever seen a contract or...

    Mis-shipment

    Wow - I'm really surprised at the replies suggesting it's anyone's fault other than the vendor's. FOB factory or FOB my doorstep addresses who pays the shipping cost, not whether the vendor misrepresented what he sold. Good faith, standard of care and fraudulent conveyance factor into whether...

    Mis-shipment

    All - thank you for your comments. The facts are the following. Cabinet cost roughly $1,100. Shipping in total cost about $800. I have ordered product before from this vendor.

    Mis-shipment

    I'm curious to obtaqin some feedback from members regarding a misshipment. I ordered on-line a set of tool cabinets based upon the vendor's description. These cabinets are large and heavy.

    Lista Cabinets coming

    Thanks for the liner reference. As for usage, no metal working or grease related though I do have a top end motorcycle rebuild lined up. I need something durable and easy to clean but doesn't have to stay sparkling. I'm considering a nice thick top - 3/4 phenolic ply over 3/4 mdf over 3/4 ply...

    Rotary in ground SmartLift vs Traditional 2 post lift?

    Thanks for the video. Fair point on the resell issue. Someone wrote elsewhere depreciation hit. I'm looking at a new build so a custom fit shouldn't be a problem. I'm surprised the arm height is 5-6". Is that correct? Are the tops that high from the finished floor? So looking at that scissor...

    Rotary in ground SmartLift vs Traditional 2 post lift?

    Frank/AL, Thanks for the comments. I've been reading this forum for over a year and finally signed out. Great information here and great spirit amongst its members. I'm a weekend wrencher, part-time at best. I have an older bug and 911. I'm not sure if those are considered narrow bodied for...

    Rotary in ground SmartLift vs Traditional 2 post lift?

    COmpared to scissor lift? I'm considering a lift for a not too distant new garage project. Are scissor lifts something to consider here? I like the fact they can be completely flush with the floor when not in use. Any major pros/cons compared to the systems described here? Thanks
