SMOKING HOT DEAL on Bessey 24" and 40" Revo clamps on Amazon

[rmwarren]

I ordered 4X the 40", all in one order (missed the 24's). Last night I received 4 separate shipping confirmations stating I would get them tomorrow:

This is the first time Amazon has ever split up an order this way. Will be interesting to see if the actually arrive in 4 separate boxes, my guess is they will.

These Amazon clamps are shipping from PA, us Cali folks have a wait on our hands using the free shipping option. "in transit"

I got the exact same message today.  I though it was okay because I had cached in Discover points for them and since they aren't deducted until shipped, I didn't notice that I bought more than what I had points to pay for.  I updated the payment method and thought that was the end of it.  But your issue has me wondering.

I just got an interesting email from Amazon.  

Yesterday I got one saying that the 40s were about to be shipped, but this morning they are saying they need me to reenter my credit card info because there was trouble with my card.  I checked my AMEX and the payment for the 24s went though, but not the payment for the 2 - 40s. I was under the impression that I paid for them all at once.    

I wonder if they have over sold the 40" clamps and are looking to cancel some orders?

You guys,

Go to the help tab on Amazon and then "Contact Us". You will be given options for email, or call-back.  Take the call back and you will immediately be called by Amazon support. They will track your issue and solve it... I Promise.  I have used this system a number of times over the years when a problem comes up, some of which are very nearly identical to what you have eluded.

Take advantage of their customer service!  I have received promotional $$ and refunds when I've had a problem at times, but they have ALWAYS fixed whatever problem existed...virtually instantly! [big grin]

Cheers,

Frank

good call @SittingElf.  I called and verified all is well.  They didn't offer any perks, but then again, it wasn't really their problem to begin with.  As such, I didn't have the "Cojones" to ask for perks.  On the other hand @VSM_4, you may have more of a leg to stand on to ask for special considerations.  I have in the past when a couple orders were canceled for no apparent reason.

The big brown truck just stopped by and delivered my two sets of 40"ers!  No problems. No damage, and while not super-packed, they were "adequately" packed.

All done!  Now have four 24's and four 40's.  Happy camper... well....I wish I had ordered more!

Cheers all!

Came home and found my 40's on the front porch, awesome

i got the same amount of each. wish i had really gone all in on the 40s. recently bought a set of about 16 parallel jaw clamps of all sizes for $300 on craigslist, should be set now.

I ordered a 2 pack of 40s at the $49 a few days ago and they are supposed to be delivered 10/8 to 10/12. I ordered a pair of 24s at the $66 price this evening.

You guys sucked me in.  I should have 2 pairs of 40" on my doorstep when I get home.  The 2 pairs of 24" I ordered on the second sale should be here Monday.

I have been thinking of replacing my Jorgy Cabinetmasters with Revo's for a few years now.  If I like the Revos, this should give me enough that I can start selling off the Jorgys and getting some other sizes of Revos.

Slappy, good catch.  It looks like the Wiltons are knock-offs.  It's amazing how similar they make them to be, even using the same model number.  I searched around and found a supplier for these (knock offs) and they are made in China.  I'll be sticking with the real thing (Bessey and Festool).

I emailed VerySuperCoolTool about some (six each ) Bessey LC-4 rapid action 4" clamps their reply

Michael, if you want 6 of the LC4's the cost will be $45.50 each. Bessey
has plenty of stock and shipping is $18.

I'm ordering 4 instead of six of the LC-4's the price is the same but shipping dropped $5.oo to this $13.oo
SO for 4 each total $195.00 with shipping
I got 4 of LC-8 & 2 of LC-12 from these guys 2 weeks ago , shipping is drop shipped from Bessey & I had them in a week
So I'm fairly happy as this was the best price I could find in these @ a savings of about $20.oo each on single clamp .
as I noted before If your buying Bessey clamps give these guys a email as they can get any Bessey there is & they seem to beat any price out there with the exception of that Amazon deal that this thread is about .
I am in NO WAY a employee & a representative of VSCT , just a happy customer .

Received today the two 40's I ordered.  Wish now that I had ordered the 24's too.  Oh well.

 

[copcarcollector]

All of mine have arrived as well. THANKS Frank for posting the original info-

 

[joraft]

I received my order of 3 2-packs of the 24" clamps yesterday. A total of 6 clamps for $125.97 (free shipping) which is 21.00 per clamp. A very good deal.

I would never had seen this sale if it weren't for SittingElf. Thank you!

My 40" 2-packs are due to arrive tomorrow. Hopefully I'll be just as happy.  [smile]

My 40" clamps arrived today as promised.

My thanks again to SittingElf! 

 

[andvari]

Mine arrived today, very nice.

 

[Claimdude]

The 24s I ordered yesterday are supposed to be delivered Monday (Amazon Prime is very nice) but the 40s I ordered a week ago show delivery between 10/8 and 10/12.

It's kinda nutty to see the delivery differences, you've got e'm all now, my 24's are supposed to arrive today and my 40's have yet to ship.

I don't know how much earlier you ordered before posting, but I ordered about 5 hours after you initially posted. Maybe it's because I went with the free shipping option.  ???
