Carbide Grinder

[TOM REED]

Grinder arrived this week, it is fairly good and runs well without shake, wheels probably need truing but it will do a much better job than "I can do freehand so on the whole I am happy. Only problem I was quoted $125.00 by FEDEX GROUND for shipping to my door. this was all set up all ENCO was to do was call FEDEX GROUND for pickup. Instead ENCO called FEDEX FREIGHT, and there the problem begins, FEDEX FREIGHT does not clear customs so I had to have broker clear for me which cost me an additional $100.00, now it gets to CALGARY and FEDEX FREIGHT informs me the shipping charges are $250.00 and they tell me this is based on the size and weight which are much greater than the grinder. The parcel arrived on WED and it was obvious why the charges were more ENCO strapped the damn carton to a small pallet. So the long and short of it my deal of $212.00 for the grinder but I really got the shaft on shipping and brokerage which made my landed cost $575.00. Thanks ENCO for really screwing up my order, I will never purchase from them again. tom
