Hell its a crap shoot if you buy from Homier tools in person at the
traveling tool sales, yet alone by phone or internet. I am sure you
will eventually get yout lathe, but when is anyones guess. If they are
out, and the next shipment is still being loadedon a boat in China
somewhere, it could be a looooooooooooooong time.

I would keep trying until you get them or call a number that is not a
sales number or 1-800 type number, and demand your credit card be
credited back with the amount. Its not right for them to charge the
card until the merchandise ships. I don;t know if its illegal to do
that, but a call to your credit card company would tell you. Its bad
business practice to charge a card and not have the goods to ship.
