Snap On Epiq's on back order?

[jimexcursion]

I ordered a Royal Blue 68" Epiq box 2 weeks ago (seems like forever ago) from my dealer. He told me trhis past Monday it wouldn't be here until August. I barely had time to throw money at him to pay on my tool account so who knows? Anyone know if they are on back order?

Not to worry, you can stare at this one until yours comes in.

Snap-on is building a lot of tool storage based on orders placed. Especially with the number of variations available in the Epiq boxes, your box is in line to be built.

That's not my garage or the box - but thanks for giving me the benefit of the doubt.

I like that woodsy look in his garage; I'm thinking about putting wood paneling in mine.

My garage is finished in osb panels. I love it.

That's the one I've been drooling over. Thanks Merk!

That's mean! Shame on you, Merk, for teasing Jim like that!

 

[jimexcursion]

That's okay. I look at it often. Can't wait. I love my Classic 96 but this is a much bigger and better box.

That's not what I wanted to hear. I want him to drop it off this week.

Thanks for the info!

Not sure if it's true with the Epiq boxes, but I ordered the side cab for my box about 3 weeks ago. It's due here 1st or 2nd week in June. My dealer said they do batches of different colors. So a whole batch of yellow, then a whole batch of blue etc. He also said if I had wanted red he could have had it almost right away, but since the Royal blue is less common I had to wait until they were built.
It's nice knowing it's all paid for so I don't have to worry about that part.... but at the same time, when I drop some coin for something I want it right away! I hate waiting!

Mine will be financed but I still hate waiting.

they are on back order. I bet they are working overtime to get all the orders filled. Luckily all the boxes I have needed were in stock so only a 3 day wait.
My epiq I ordered will be here in about a week. it was red so they did those first i guess

Are there alot of Epiq orders? I've yet to see one, but the more I look at them (I just got the new catalog last week) I'm thinking an 84" with the powerbank would work good for me.

I'm planning to hit Crystal Lake next month and hopefully I can get a hands on feel for one there.

Mine is bare, and i have thought about sheetrocking it....but i always stop because i'll lose the space between the studs for small storage and I hate having to hunt for a stud to screw somthing down.

 

[mrshaun]

mine is sheetrocked and all covered with license plates and snap on advertisements from the side of my truck and it is every color that we have painted in the house in small sections.
