bits

just talked to cw, the full bit set(wich i ordered 3 weeks ago and was on back order until feb 2or3) is now backed up until feb 14 or so. Along with carving bits.
all is on back order.
wow

we are hoping the bit orders we've put in will come in this weekend...

unfortunately we cant' control when they come in from the manufacturer.

sorry.

These backorder problems are uncontrollable by any manufacturer, I work for the largest paintbooth manufacturer and we are behind for the same reason, not just one part either, many all at once, on all ends of our process, from steel to paint.
I am not mad, anxious yes, mad no.
I appreciate all your feedback.

I called Thursday about my order and was told the bits were in and were being filled based on first orders made, first orders filled and that mine was close to the top. It's only been two weeks, so I'll wait a few days before I call back again. I can understand the backlog, but I feel it should have been better anticipated with the Sears release and a stockpile set back in inventory. I know from being a Manufacturing Plant Site Manager, this wouldn't have been tolerated. In saying that, they've been very, very supportive and helpful, so they get the favorable nod from me.
