Planer motor

I purchase the Grizzly model G0790 12 inch planer a couple of years ago. The motor just randomly went out.

I contacted Grizzly to inform them that I am a disabled veteran and on a fixed income and rely on the small pieces of furniture that I produce to supplement my income to support my family. They informed me that they were only going to have one replacement motor for the month of July and were not sure when they would get another one because they are at the mercy of the manufacturer located in China. I told them that I really need the motor even though it was going to cost me $100 dollars that I don't really have.

They told me that they couldn't help me. I let them know that I would no longer waste my money on a company that does not care about keeping their customers.

Inferior quality

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Wow! I recently purchased a Shop Fox saw to use while out of the shop.

Immediately after unpacking, it was repacked and ready for return. I could not believe Grizzly would put their name on such a low-quality piece of junk! To top that off, I had to pay for return shipping and my $455 purchase netted me nothing material for $360. What a great company they used to be.

Being an owner of three pieces of Grizzly equipment, I have to question their commitment to quality from this point forward. It is a shame, another American company going down the tubes.

Grizzly SUCKS

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Grizzly delivery and customer service sucks! I have been waiting 8 weeks for the second box (fence and rails) for my table saw which was lost in shipping.

My table saw is half assembled and I had to buy and INCRA fence and rails which by the way is way superior to the Grizzly. Every time I see the table half assembled my stomach turns. I have tried without results to get it with no success.

If you have a second choice I would go with that and avoid Grizzly all together. I will NEVER buy anything from Grizzly ever again!!

Shipping issues

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I find that shipping procedure needs improvement. I find working with the company to have items shipped is a nightmare.

I had bought 3 identical items. Each item is charged an overpriced shipping fee and the fee cannot be adjusted. Even though the placed the 3 items on one pallet they want to charge triple the price to ship.

If you set up your own shipping they give you wrong dimensions causing additional fees. Refuse to use BOL provided causing more additional fees.

Customer Service and shipping

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Bought a table saw, got one carton and not the second carton which was the fence and rails. Contacted Grizzly and they did little to nothing to track down the missing carton.

I contacted the carrier and found it myself and had it delivered. Grizzly called me a week later to tell me they were still trying to locate the package using their outdated process which included emails to the carrier.

I told them that they should have called the carrier to expedite the process, but nope that is not how they roll. What a clown act.

I've bought a lot of items over several years from them. Customer service is the best! Always somebody to talk to and not somebody in Siam or other barely English speaking person or location.

Bad experience with product

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Bought a model G0771Z 10" Hybrid table saw from Grizzly. Cutting a board and it pinched the saw blade.

The saw stopped running. Turned the saw on/off several times. It wouldn't turn on. Checked house fuse box.

All fuses were good. Contacted Grizzly by email. No reset switch on saw. Having to pay electrician to trouble shoot saw.

I will NEVER buy from Grizzly again. I will buy DELTA or some other brands of power tools.

SCREWED ME ON PRICE

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Original review Jul 21, 2021

I recently purchased the T28944 for my G0759 Mill. It is in fact made by Priesttools.com.

Included with the lift was a list of other optional parts for the mill made by Priest including the lift. Their price for the lift IS $299.00 vs Grizzly's which is $349.95!! I called Grizzly to clarify and see if they would match the price, I was told I would have to return the lift to Grizzly paying both shipping and a restocking fee and then order from Priest!!! THIS IS ABSOLUTLEY NOT THE WAY TO TREAT A NEW CUSTOMER!!

THIS IS MY FIRST AND LAST BUSINESS DEALING WITH THEM. THEY ARE WILLING TO LOSE ME AS A FUTURE CUSTOMER FOR $50!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with full refund. I was not expecting any further communication from Grizzly, but to my surprise I received an email stating that they had looked into it and I was right and they are refunding the shipping charge in total. More than I requested, so I can't complain..

Original review Feb 27, 2021
They quoted me shipping charge on a Thursday and told me it would ship Friday and I would receive Saturday (I was requesting expedited shipping). The price was very reasonable for overnight, and I asked the representative twice if he was sure that dollar amount would get it to me on Saturday and was told yes both times.

Friday afternoon I received an email saying my order had shipped and would be delivered on Tuesday. Saturday AM I emailed customer service complaining and wanting a refund for the extra I paid for expedited shipping. I was told no, that it shipped according to what I had paid for, which they said was 2nd day UPS. I told them that may be, but that was not what I was told.

So I guess they take no responsibility for their mistakes. I am not a huge customer, I have two pieces of woodworking equipment that I paid about 1200 for, but I will never again purchase anything but parts from them.
