Your machine should ship within a couple days of them coming in this week http://www.everlastgenerators.com/fo...9262#post39262

When you receive your long awaited PP256 and are assembling it be cautious in the assembly of the regulator in its location. I found that the supplied screws were too long and one could have caused damage to the transformer winding directly behind it. I removed the cover and then made a determination to cut the screws so as it would not contact the windings. Again things may have changed since I received my PP256.

now that bothers me... i hope im not buying a machine thats not right... stuff like this should be fully tested before sales...

Same thing here bubba! I was suppose to receive my welder sometime this week after the shipping label was created on 11/16 (and listed the date of arrival as 11/19 "by the end of the day"). I wrote this week off as a loss due to the holiday. Hopefully next week the Thanksgiving elves will finally have time to send our welders off!

Well I guess I'm not alone then. I ordered mine Oct. 18th. Tracking says it shipped Nov. 16th with a delivery date of Nov. 20th. After the no show on the 20th my delivery date just disappeared? UPS says it's lost in transit? Hopefully I'll hear something definitive Monday.

I ordered a PP50 Wednesday evening the 21st, ups label was generated. So it's sit sitting with Oleg. The only thing UPS was shipping/delivering Friday was next day air packages. So mine won't ship till the 26th and maybe delivered around the 3rd or 4th. Last year when I ordered a 140st it got delayed because of a flood we had around here. So the way my luck goes, the PP50 will most likely get caught up in a blizzard somewhere between Ca and Pa.
We are like kids at Christmas time waiting on Santa to bring our presents aren't we

I ordered two welders and the shipping label was generated 11/16 saying delivery 10 days later on the 26th, but UPS never takes 10 days to ship anything. Unfortunately the tracking number still doesn't show them at the UPS facilities as of the 25th ??????

I hate to say it but its common for businesses to generate a shipping label as soon as the boat from China shows up on radar and then take a week or so to unpack and ship. This keeps people quiet and makes them think UPS is the holdup. Hopefully this is not a game like that and I'll happily post if the welders do acttually show up tomorrow. After years of shipping I will confirm that Thanksgiving can certainly delay packages.

what does you tracking says exactly ? label generated or picked up on 16th ? It takes us 8hr to unload two containers and ship them same day out . I have no idea where you getting your info on unloading time and making labels

This is my tracking number 1ZW636030355542089

When checked, it says this,... A UPS shipping label has been created (on 11/16) Once the shipment arrives at our facility, the tracking status--including the scheduled delivery date--will be updated.

It seems to say the package has not yet arrived at their facility because there is no updated tracking status or delivery date??

[bubbas55]

has the ship come in....

[Jody Miller]

In the same boat here.what my tracking # says...

Location Date Local Time Activity
South San Francisco, CA, United States 11/16/2012 4:36 P.M. Pickup Scan
United States 11/16/2012 9:13 P.M. Order Processed: Ready for UPS


No update since the 16th..I do show a delivery date of the 27th but would have thought that it would have been scanned through a hub or 2 on the way.Guess i will find out tomorrow.I also ordered something from ca that was shipped and is scheduled to arrive on the same day..It has been updated several times times on it's trip to me.

I ordered a torch week before last, got label, said 21st, UPS got it Thursday I think, then it sat there with no update on location, but new ship date of today. Talked to my UPS guy, apparently they did jack squat Thurs-Sun this week. It's been sitting in the local destination since Wednesday. Hell, even the trash guys came on Friday, UPS really couldn't deliver ground Fri or Sat? I got air shipments Friday... (nothing against Everlast, my rant is all about UPS). Just because you don't see updates doesn't mean it isn't moving, once they have it, I've seen a week go by without updates then there's like 5 destination/departure entries in one afternoon.

UPS is messed up .. we have 50+ units stock in CA in UPS location
they said they found them all and will update all later today
its orders that they picked up on 16th

SORRY GUYS

Lately I've been choosing USPS or Fed Ex when available, even paying the extra dollar or three. Seem to be much faster and more reliable to where I'm at. They also break less stuff.

[Jody Miller]

ups does have a tendency to "drop" ship.... and I tend to get free"air" delivery with most items...Thrown through the air up on to my front porch. pun's intended.

[cbmkr]

Yes ups is a little in a mess, I have some parts coming from Canada delivery date 11/26/12 and they just disappeared last week and are nowhere to be found.

[Trip59]

I had two neighbors who worked for UPS, one on the line and one in loss prevention. NEITHER would order anything that was shipped UPS, they'd pay extra for any other shipping method or order from somewhere else online... Kinda reminds me of not eating at restaurants or fast food places the employees won't eat at.

Thanks Oleg. Are you saying that UPS picked them up from you on the 16th, and they have been sitting at UPS since?
Thanks
