NDK1963 Posted December 3, 2022 Share #1 Posted December 3, 2022 I placed an order for a tilting table and some other stuff on Oct 12th and i have yet to receive any shipping information or other status on the order. Its been over a month. I am not sure what is going on. I will reach out to him through email and PayPal but i was wondering if anyone else knew if they were still in business.

Jaager Posted December 3, 2022 Share #2 Posted December 3, 2022 I am not going to look it up, but I seem to recall reading a message from Jim that said that he was taking significant "family time" over the holiday season and that a backlog was likely. I have been involved with the NRG since 1972. I have seen many tools and books (and lumber) that at the time, seemed like it would be available forever, only to disappear. If there is something that you want and it is a budget problem, the take home lesion is that the back burner has an expiration date and it is likely closer than is wished.

NDK1963 Posted December 3, 2022 Author Share #5 Posted December 3, 2022 Thank you all. I found Jim's direct email from another post and he promptly replied. My wife also "messed up", as the order date was actually Nov 19th rather than Oct. She wanted to surprise me for Dec 5th (birthday) so she panicked. In any case, no good deed goes unpunished ! Thank you all. Nick hollowneck, mtaylor, Canute and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
