Snap On tool box delivery time?

[Jon.R]

Back in November I ordered a Krl1023 off the rock N Roll cab truck , my driver said it would be in some time mid January . But I still haven't seen or herd a time for it yet and he says he only finds out once they are shipped out. So how long was the wait for everyone else? It's been 2 and half months now , I'm up in Canada if that makes a difference on time. I got it in a non common colour white with black trim I was thinking maybe that slows it down.

im in quebec and i had to wait 3 weeks for my classic 96

I had to wait 2 1/2 months for my epiq lockers this time last year.

 

[androy]

wow , and i thought it was slow after 2 weeks ...

 

[Jon.R]

Yeah I been itching for it since the day I orderd it . A couple guys in my tuck class said it took 4 months for 2 people at the shop they work at. I'm hoping it doesn't take that long . That rock n roll truck had awesome deals thro wasn't planing on buying a new box I just bought my krl722 8 months ago and was going to only get a riser hutch for it. But for the hell of it I priced out the krl1023 when he was my shop and they gave me what I paid for my box 4500 and then gave me 4000 off the price of the krl 1023 , so it came to 2600 and the hutch was going to be 3500 for the krl722 I have . So how could I say no to that . Ahahaha

5 months for my 68" epiq. Yeah...I was not impressed.

If you order a special color, it can be a long wait.

Build time is varies greatly. I've been told the best way to order a box is talk with your dealer and have him order it as one of his stock boxes. These normally have a pretty quick ship. You think 2 months is bad for a box, I have had wait times of close to a year on bobcats. Don't even get me started on back order parts.

My first and second Snap-On boxes took about ten days each to arrive. My latest took six weeks.

I ordered mine in November and just got mine a couple weeks ago. It Takes time. Theres still people waiting around here because there color combo

 

[davesnothere]

i have no personal experience, but the boss's new 12ft long mr. big took 3 months to show up.

 

[flyingtpot]

I just had a custom color chest take eight weeks to deliver.

 

[rancherbill]

That is incredibly poor delivery for standard product. Snapon should be ashamed.

My last 2 matco boxes have taken 4-6 weeks to get, you are going to be waiting a while whoever you order from. And those weren't during promo times. It's not like they have a pile of boxes sitting on shelves waiting to go out.

 

[bobcatdan]

The times I ordered boxes, they took a week to get or less to get. My 1022, the dealer had it on his truck for three months and wanted it gone.

It appears they don't.

The number crunchers appear to have Snapon on a 'lean manufacturing' / 'build to order' system.

They have strong brand loyalty and they are abusing this dominance. In the long term, I think it will hurt them.

From what I was told. Snap on runs on low or no stock. When ordering colors they wait till they have so many boxes to build so they run them through the paint shop all at one time

 

[xurusaibobx]

snap only carries in stock Common boxes in common colors only. now that all the boxes are made in USA ( some cheaper ones krl and carts were make in canada) that might be why they run low on stock since they only build out of one plant now.


snap on Sent my KRSC46 via UPS freight and i got in in 5 days but that was after waiting 10 months for it to be build supposedly but its because it was it was brand new flat black color. i also ordered a SS top for my krl1023 got it 2 weeks.

 

[Jon.R]

Snap on dealer called me at work said he got word that I will have the box in the next 2 weeks . Said with all the storms they have been having down that way by the factory has slowed everything up.

 

[Wamsutta]

We'll be here waiting for the pictures.

Custom drawer configuration slowed my Epiq down to about 3 months wait last year. The previous KRL set up was only a few weeks or so.

i bought 2 new sets of boxes from snap on

1st set took a week, dealer had them "in stock" in his garage
2nd set i unloaded off the truck the same day i bought them.

but this was back when toolboxes came in 1 color, no "custom" configurations, trim, and few add on accessories
only a very few limited editions that werent RED
