I feel like I've stumbled into a FatWallet time warp... I thought this was the GJ? 
Proto 3/8" Drive 29 Piece Socket Set

All the time, every time. Brunettes are in fact the Proto of the girl world. Blondes fall somewhere between Pittsburgh and, oh, Pittsburgh Pro.

Redheads are nothing like that. Redheads are a lot more like what Stihl makes--they can be very dangerous.
Personal experience...
why are the proto sets in Amazon shipping cartons ?
So stoked!!! Looks like all 13 Proto 29pc sets may have showed up today.... er along with some other **** I ordered.
Cant wait to check them out, and see how much they resell for $$ Love this thread!!
Does anyone know what the date is today?

Ha. Had me for a second, and with only 6 minutes to go.

This is the problem in the past with Grainger.
I just sent them an email and was told maybe May. I purchased early in this thread.

Now back to bidness. I am going to call Grainger first thing this morning and get to the bottom of my nine sets that were suppose to ship last week.

You guys are too impatient and greedy. Just wait for your sets to arrive... I ordered 2 sets, still waiting.

Got an email from Grainger today saying delivery won't be until April 30 or the first week in May. This was after being told in a chat session that I could expect delivery on or before April 2. Not a problem. For that price I can wait quite a while.

My first set came via UPS. I ordered just a few minutes after the OP posted and created an account at the time of ordering. Mine shipped from Atlanta and the manufacture date on the sticker inside says 2/07/2018. I have heard nothing regarding the second set I ordered hours after the first.

You had me going. I was thinking about PMing you to ask if you wanted to part with an SAE set.

You're not the only one I got a pm from someone else.

they are like chainsaws. only trained professionals should even try juggling them.
Grainger just cancelled my order for 3 sets.
I called them and was able to get them to make the order active again at the same price since I had not requested that it be cancelled. She said there was some issue with the store I had chosen to pick it up at so I had them change it to shipping at an additional cost. She said a lot of people ordered the product and it will be a while before it ships.

Why shouldn't they? There are people taking advantage of an obvious mistake and ordering dozens of them. The surprising thing is that they haven't cancelled all the orders.
By the way, if you bother to read the post he says they reinstated it which I guess reflects well on them even though it still doesn't make good business sense. Anybody taking advantage of this mistake is NOT Grainger's target buyer.

I hope you get it--you found it.
One of the people getting multiples should make sure you do.
It's not your fault some people are taking advantage of the situation.

I called and they said 4 of my 9 sets were on back order but the other 5 were in process so I could expect them sometime end of April.

Good for you!
The next one of you that feels the compulsion to “Im gonna call them and find out where MY nine sets are”......please,
take a deep breath
remind yourself you have ZERO money hanging, you haven’t been charged
head for the pawn shop and buy a single vintage USA socket to fondle to take the edge off
STOP drawing attention to this pricing error, sheesh

I almost feel like the line of thinking of some people is- if you hound, pester, continuously and repeatedly and thoroughly make it a point to consciously POUND in the point to the seller ( Grainger) and their employees that the circumstances that have caused them to undoubtedly take a hit, loss, at the least a decrease in profit each and every time one of these sets is packaged and shipped. That this will encourage a promptness and eagerness to expedite the multitude of them as rapidly and courteously as possible due to impatience? Ya right

I chatted with them this afternoon demanding that they FILL or KILL my order.
