I ordered one of the two of these that were available.
The right box shipped, but someone put a smaller off brand chinesium tool in there, not the right tool at all.

Hopefully whoever got the other one was luckier than me.
Wait was this used like new? I had that happen to me on Amazon. I haven't purchased anything used off Amazon since then. I mean I might again someday but past couple times the discount was negligible and the risk wasn't worth the risk to me

Warehouse deals are a **** shoot. Overall, I am quite please on my purchases. However, missing or damaged parts, not working, or incorrect items are not uncommon. Returns aren't difficult though.

With that said, I have also received items with extra accessories or multiples of an item I didn't expect.

YMMV

should be a vise included too.
Funny how this popped up. I was just laying in bed last night trying to figure out how I was going to tackle the door hinges on my 67 Mustang project when my drill press is 2100 miles away.

Then this little drill press pops up.

Hope it’s not junk.

Thanks, guys.

It never showed up. Missed it's projected delivery date. Then I got the "has been delayed" notification. Finally, USPS stated that they delivered it (but they didn't). Amazon then refunded. Bunch of activity over nothing.

I have bought a LOT of stuff from Amazon Warehouse, and keep track of items not what they say they were and find that 10-15% of it is not what they say, or damaged. Sometimes you get a better item, but that is rare. if you only buy one or two items the 10-15% lottery is easier to hit and feel like a high percentage are bad

I have bought a lot too - but would guess my percentage is closer to 5%
Probably depends on what you buy - most of mine are fairly specific items.
