i got another 42" for dirt cheap, but yeah mine just got canceled too. guess they realized how much money they were going to lose. their email said my card was credited in the OOP amount, but i almost expect to have to fight with them about it. pretty disappointed about this one
It's probably going to take 1-2 weeks just like my refund did.
my 27" canopy shows OFD today, so they definitely shipped them
my 42" top box was red with black drawers. i plan to chat today or tonight and see what they can do for me--going to ask for a price match w/free shipping on another that size and when they say no i'll ask if they could provide any points to put toward another order and figure they'll at least comp me $10, $20 if i'm really lucky and find the right rep.
worst case scenario is they say no and i still walk away with the $20 they gave me in points to put toward it in the first place, so i cant be tooo mad. but man would that box have been nice for that price
Was very close to buying that, ended up figuring since they were out of business I didn't want the hassle. I'd stay away from a bankrupt company selling the goods from another bankrupt company at this point. Really focusing on in store items now, especially those that don't show in online inventories. Picked up an old stock 31" non strike pry bar for $7.88 recently that way and found one last 36" strike cap pry at a different store. Also starting to see old stock USA individual extensions/sockets/wrenches again showing up.
Oh this was actually even more fun because it didn't ring up in their system anymore at all. They almost didn't want to sell it to me. Luckily the hometown website still listed it under "items no longer in stock" and I got them (after much arguing) to match that price since they couldn't come up with a different price.
You guys are missing the point. Sure if you get the item who cares. I'm saying not everyone wants to tie up several hundred on their credit cards this time of year indefinitely if there is good cause the item will never ship. Glad you got yours, not everyone on this thread is as fortunate...
Very nice.Don't mind the mess it was pouring down rain.
My pliers finally fit all together.
That's a different point. I could understand that I been in the market for a toolbox for a while I been saving for a rs pro these boxes made more since. I worked extra hours all summer and saved $100/every two week paycheck to buy a box my budget was 1200$ I got this box for 900$ with 500$ cash back been doing all the kids Christmas shopping with the points. So it just made sense to buy it. I understand some of the issues with racking up debt around the holidays. I didn't understand that is what you were saying the first time. I thought you meant that people shouldn't buy discounted items from bankrupt companies not because one might not get the item but because the company was bankrupt and wouldn't support the item.

At least Sears gave me stuff for putting up with them, nice while it lasted (not quite dead yet, but not much longer).I'm sure they are functionally fine, but the handles on the indian made pry bars looked a little on the cheap side when I was at the store. Average person probably wouldn't even have noticed unless they saw the old USA versions. No strike cap either.
fyi...got my 27" canopy today, one day ahead of estimated date they gave upon checkout. its not bad looking, feels decently well made. the plaque says Craftsman Professional but i'm not sure if its the same as their Pro line or not. the hutch has inner walls on both sides that have holes for pegs, which is nice as that wasn't in pics online. the gas struts feel solid and the lid hinges easily. the paperwork even says it's powdercoated, which is both surprising and a nice upgrade from the regular/heavy duty CM cabinets i've picked up this summer which are only painted.
i picked this up because why not for $25 with $25 back in points, but i was actually hoping it would fit on top of my 27" CM cabinet. no dice, unfortunately, as this one is 26.75" W and the CM is 26.5" lip to lip. no biggie though as my second idea was to set this on the end of my workbench and just use it as a hutch. IMHO if you can pick one up, especially for $25, def get it. and if that's $25 in points? you should be arrested for stealing
yeah, ive got the dims to make a butcher block top (already planned to make a bb top regardless) and that would look pretty good since theres no bottom on the hutch. but i like the idea of using it on the work bench just a little bit more--that way i can keep certain things handy and not have to worry about getting them dirty
