We're all very proud of you. Keep up the good work! Now you've got a story to tell your kid once he's old enough to understand.

look at it this way, Tom. Half of the clamps were bought in the name of my son, so I didn't really get away with anything.

I've missed 90% of these deals in my life, so when I see one that I might get to really take advantage of, I'm going to do it.

Anyway, I see that you got your 12 clamps, too. Are you honestly telling me that if you could've easily bought 24 you wouldn't have done so?

It's not any different than buying 2 of the porter cable routers from Home depot for 100.00 each. If you need them and have the opportunity to buy them you do it. If I had the extra money I would have tried to get 12 of each but a jointer is in the immediate future. You did ok Mike.

mike, how ever you want to justify is cool. since youre calling me on my purchase, i'll clarify. only purchased 8 as i said in a separate post with different subject header. 4 each of the 24" and 48". dags "happy clamper"

the guys who got shut out are probably taking your neeners with good nature.

The online store is a part of Woodcraft corporate. Your local store might be franchised, which may be how they get away with no sales tax.

Fed-Ex has my clamps and estimated delivery on Tuesday. Not bad for 11.99 shipping of a 28lb. package.

Yeah - I understand the "c'mon buddy leave some for the rest of us" but on the other hand, if there was only one clamp left, I'd grab it.

So, I'm more OK than not with Mike's 12 via on-line and 12 via store-visit. If he started putting on disguises or sending in distant cousins to buy, then I'd question it.

I bought 4 48"'s on-line and nothing else, but only because spending $80 was plenty.

Hey Bob,

Same story for me, FedEx and 10/21 delivery estimate. I wonder how they packaged them. The clamps I got at the storefront were 2 to a box, so I had

6 boxes. It seemed like the sum weight was more than 28 lbs., too, but I guess I'm mistaken.

I was fortunate enough to get my order in and confirmed last night. Between the ball game and the woodcraft website, the nerves were hopping! Imagine my feeling this morning when Woodcraft sent their confirmation and said they had made a mistake and were sold out. I've been on the phone with them to see how in the world I paid, got a confirmation, and yet they still cancelled my order. Needless to say, I'm a bit irked by them.

Cheers, cc

My online line order history at woodcraft.com says my 12 clamps are coming in two boxes, one at 40 lbs, and one at 28. Total, 68 lbs, for 12 bucks shipping! Delivery scheduled for Tuesday.

My online order history said the same thing, but when mine arrived today it was in 3 boxes (one for each of the 3 sizes), total shipping weight was about 97 lbs according to the Fed-X info.
