What is it?

It's replacement is in the mail. The replacement is adjustable so there will be no need to have a specific tool to facilitate the characteristics of the required dado.

The New Tool is "Being Shipped", "No Tracking Status Available", whatever that means. Before this status it was "Being Ordered".

No tracking status means nothing if the USPS is the carrier. The post office system is often 2 or 3 days behind. Not Shopsmith's but the USPS.

Does Shopsmith utilize USPS? I don't recall ever getting a Shopsmith package delivered that way.

My tracking info doesn't list a shipped date yet so I am assuming it has not left SS yet. Did they advertise this before they had the product ?

The status on my order hasn't changed since Monday when it first changed to "Being Shipped". I did confirm as a result of your comment that I have no tracking number either. Getting a tracking number assigned is probably the first thing that happens when an order hits the shipping department.

I am beginning to think that might be the new way.....set up an initial inventory using the buyers money . The money came out of my account on Monday and the status has not changed (Being Shipped) but there is no tracking information.

The status is still the same this morning (9/14/2017). BTW, I ordered mine on the same date as you only at 2:45am.

I know you know how long and how much money it takes to develop a new product before it is offered for sale. Do you really believe what you said?

Yes, it is time consuming and expensive to bring a new product to market. BUT, by the time it "comes to market" I believe it reasonable to expect that it is available for shipping. I have not waited a long time for this item; I am just confused by the wording in the status report. "Being Shipped". Pulling an item out of inventory and preparing it for shipment is not a time consuming process. At least not for a simple item like this. "Order being Processed" and"Being Shipped". Ordered on the 7th and it still has not been shipped even though it is a new product offering and I would expect it to be on the shelf (immediately available for shipping". That does not seem to be the case.

Yes, I do believe that some companies are learning to operate by doing advanced sales (advertising).

Now if my credit card had not yet been charged I would say that there is NO REASON for me to believe it should have shipped. But my card has been charged.

If this was big money OR something that I really needed, I would be (expletive deleted).

Here is a small sample of recent orders I have gotten from shopsmith with shipping details.

So yes they do ship by USPS. Even USPS has details including tracking numbers and they will appear in the listing.

BTW if you take that number and stick it in to google it knows it is a tracking number.... and yes you can get detail that way. Give it a try.

They listed mine as shipped today.

Me too...with an estimated arrival date of next Thursday. Tracking info shows it has left Ohio and arrived in Kentucky. Still a long way from Idaho, but at least its on the move.
