I also received the update on shipping. 6/2/26. WOOT!
Did anyone receive tracking info on the Gedore socket sets? I got an email saying that they would ship 6/2 but so far no updated info
Yep, ship date was supposed to be today, but didn’t hear anything. I’m just gonna wait it out.Same. Ship date of today (6/2) but no update.
I’m still holding out hope because it has always said “estimated ship date”
Zoro shipping updates are hit /miss.Did anyone receive tracking info on the Gedore socket sets? I got an email saying that they would ship 6/2 but so far no updated info
I didn't get an estimate when I ordered , I just saw " extended leed time " on everything that I ordered. It also said " should ship within one month of being ordered and that they update me on 2 weeks with an estimate which they did
I got the impact reducer 3 days after it shipped, from Germany.Zoro shipping updates are hit /miss.
When you receive the invoice in your email , then you know it's shipped /about to be delivered.
The Gedore stuff is always slow barring the one time I ordered.
The 1/2" drive socket set set from last year was direct shipped from Germany - for me, at least. I expect this accounts for some of the delay and I expect the same for the recent offerings under discussion here.I got the impact reducer 3 days after it shipped, from Germany.
It is a “red” tool and is made in Taiwan, I didn’t catch that when ordering.
Was the 1/2” drive set a stupid cheap price like these?The 1/2" drive socket set set from last year was direct shipped from Germany - for me, at least. I expect this accounts for some of the delay and I expect the same for the recent offerings under discussion here.
It is the GR3085023 Gedore 1/2 in drive 16 pc socket set, sold for $57 on Zoro. Currently, it sells for $316 on KC Tools and probably was about the same price at that time, too. So, yes stupid cheap, but no it's no match for the current version of stupid cheap.Was the 1/2” drive set a stupid cheap price like these?
Just got the same. I guess that's easier than saying " we made a mistake and we don't want to honor the price " but having said that , if it was a mistake then I'm totally ok with them cancelling the items as I wouldn't really feel too good about benefiting from an administrator's Excell error.Just got an email from Zoro on the recent cheap Gedore items. They cancelled my order saying the items are discontinued from the manufacturer.

Same here: "Our supplier has informed us that these item(s) have been discontinued, and therefore have been removed from your order."Just got an email from Zoro on the recent cheap Gedore items. They cancelled my order saying the items are discontinued from the manufacturer.
Same. Just for the L-BOXX 136,Assort so far.
Still holding out hope for the ratchet/socket set, lol.
But totally understand if they can't/won't honor the $14 pricing. I don't want them or Geodore to lose out like that.
Another PPE code, same fine print
Interesting,They cancelled my order for all the stuff as well. Pretty disappointing.
I am thinking that maybe they put these loss-leaders out there knowing they aren't available just to get us to buy a few more things to get the free shipping.
That is what I did. I ended up buying some armored gloves (a 12 pack) that I didn't really need but will use. Those got here just fine. Then no Gedore stuff.
Anyways, I won't be ordering anything from Zoro any longer.
Interesting,
I got a drill chuck key I couldn’t find elsewhere: It has been in my cart for a while, just wasn’t worth the cost alone when shipping costs added. So I got the key for a fair price in a short time. I did get the gedore reducer, not an exceptional value for a “red” tool made in Taiwan, but not a rip off. If I never break it my mind may be changed: but I’ve long since changed my strategies that used to have me twisting reducers in 2.
If the prices were dropped to move inventory/clear shelf space/sku updates I was hopeful some tool nerds benefited. If it was an entry error I see no “right” that anyone should benefit from a mistake. Will probably never know, but is fun to take a chance every once in a while.
I doubt it was purposeful - Zoro stocks an incredible number of items so I'd chalk it up to an error. They offer free shipping at just $50, which I also think is quite generous with shipping rates these days.They cancelled my order for all the stuff as well. Pretty disappointing.
