I do believe that they are all on their way to Australia. No kidding! There was a feeding frenzy here as well. I was not part of it, but watching from the sidelines I sit in awe at the order placed with LV (and Rob has published the pictures to prove it all). See Link below and move to Item #393 for the pictures. It is mind boggling!!! There have been over 21 thousand hits on this topic on Woodwork Forum's website!

>Hi William -

The Clamps actually arrived on Monday (yesterday)...

We "fudged" them into inventory early - so we can prepare the customs work ahead of time, and get everthing else organized. This also gives us time to authorize the credit cards (not charge - that happens when we ship)....

As some of these backorders have been open for a few months, there're a number of people whose cards have expired, or been lost etc. ... this allows us to deal with them without delaying shipment. As a good example - I, too, am in the group this week, and much to the amusement of customer service - my credit card didn't pass... I had reported it lost 6 weeks ago, and forgot about the back-order....

All the clamps we have will be leaving today... the next shipment (due in two weeks I think) finally clears the backlog.

Thanks for your patience!

Cheers -

Rob

>I don't remember the full details but I paid $119 plus shipping for 2-24" and 2-40" clamps.

Don't forget...

>...there's 4 KP blocks in there too!

It was a good deal... I bought 3 sets (no discount).

Don't think we'll repeat that again for a long time...

>Yeah Rob...a little salt was needed for my wounds.

After you wrote-

...there's 4 KP blocks in there too! ...

I completely remembered the deal but never acted on it. I think that was about the time that I was abducted by Aliens and my memory was erased. (That's what I wrote on my tax form as well!) :)

>The personal recriminations could be much worse. A few years ago, when I was just beginning to get really serious about making quality furniture, I was a member of a Woodworkers' Club, at that time loosely affiliated with Woodcraft. This particular club went belly up. I had the opportunity to buy all the Bessey's they had in stock at less than half price. Yeah, I let another good one get away, because I didn't fully realize at the time that "you never have enough clamps," especially K-bodies. Since then, I have learned never to turn down a good deal on good clamps.

All I got out of the disaster was a DJ-20, and I don't think we want to go there on this forum.
