I have to disagree with this post. I'm on the east coast and purchased a Sunhill 6" jointer about 8 months ago. I received it about a week after ordering it. I think it's a great machine. I got them to throw in an extra set of knives and a dust port. I cant remember what I ended up paying but with freight it was much less than $500. So far the machines been great. I like the extra bed length too.
I also have this jointer. Although I waited longer than a week for mine, I would not say that I was jerked around. They were straight forward about the wait time. The jointer has been trouble free and accurate. I simply bolted it together, adjusted the fence, and it worked great.

Based on this I emailed them and asked their price for one item. Wrote back a couple days later and "Please contact our regional dealer in NC. Steve H. Wall Lumber co. (800) 633-4062 or (336) 427-0637"
I am getting grumpy in my adage. Why didn't he just send me the price of that model to my zip code, as I asked? Not being a friendly guy and talking to sales people always puts me off.......well, I'll break down, maybe, but North Carolina is not California! We will see. Thanks for the post/reply thingy.

I just went to the Sunhill site. It's really strange but I remember the pricing being on the product page and I know I ordered directly from them. I wonder if they went to using distributors now. I just tried to find the email address to the person at Sunhill I was negotiating with, but I can't find the darn emails!! If I find it I'll send it along.
Good luck in your search. If you pick the Sunhill machine I don't think you'll be disappointed. Let me know how you make out if you follow up with them.
