I'm not sure where I should post this so if it needs to be moved, please move it.

Home Depot has an online close out on the WorkSharp 2000 for $32.25 + tax and shipping.

They had the 3000 on close out also but it wasn't still available when I ordered but you might check. I have the Wolverine system but I figured for under $42 this would be good for chisels and plane blades if nothing else.

Here is the link

It's still showing they are available when I check!

My Bad, I didn't see the "out of stock" under the add to cart button, I was just looking to be sure it was still listed on the page.

They are now showing back ordered to be shipped when they recieve their next shipment. I don't know whether they will ship or not but I just ordered the Work Shop 3000 for $62.25. Hopefully they don't cancel the orders later.
 
The lesson of pain was not to order accessories in anticipation that the main unit would really come -- It did not but the extras did.

If they deliver, great price -- if not, was worth the try.


Good luck on price matches!!!!
 
Took my back order

I ordered the 3000 model. When I first checked it showed sold out and would not accept my order. I checked back later and it allowed a backorder. The order still shows as valid and open in their system. I will just have to wait and see.
 
I ordered the 3000 on 12-26 AM, and received a "The Home Depot Order Cancellation" email this morning ... just sent their Customer Service department a "Unhappy Customer" email regarding the cancellation.
 
Worksharp

I got the cancellation yesterday. I fired off a letter to customer service stating my dissipointment with the fact that it was still on the website and it allowed me to order it. when it was oversold. They offered me a 75% discount on any similar priced sharpener they had..... my guess is there won't be one in the price range... I'll keep you all updated!:frown:
 
Same here. My email to customer service got the same reply. I'm looking but no luck finding something similar. I was hoping the Jool Tool was sold by HD.

The website said "backordered" when I placed my order. Got the cancellation email also... 75% off sounds good! You guys just sent an email to customer service and got that in return?
 
I just received my 2000 today. I must have gotten one of the last 2000s left. I'm sorry I missed the 3000 and sorry everyone else seems to have missed on the 3000s too.
I hope everyone finds some great deals in 2011.

Work sharp 3000

I just got off the phone with HD. They are going to honor orders that were taken in backorder. I have secured my order. If you do not squeek sometimes you miss out on the oil. If you had a confirmed order in the back order system and contact them persistently, they apparently will honor the sale. First offer was a 10% discount on a similar item, second offer was a similar discount on anything in the same price range (I was satisfied at that point but it did not feel good). Third email was that they were going to honor the original sale.
 
Likewise, i got an email notifying me that if i still wanted my previously cancelled order to call an 800 number and reference my original order number and they would fulfill my order.

I, personally didnt call HD and complain. I placed my order on the chance i would get it. When it was cancelled, i wasn't suprised. However i would like to give props to HD for stepping up and offering to fill the backorders that they allowed to be placed. I know many people probably called and complained, however they sent emails offering to fulfill all the backorders whether you complained or not.

It is nice to see a company step up to a mistake, rather than tuck tale and hide.

Below is the email i recieved....

Just got another Email today from Home Depot Customer service. They apoligized for the frustration and stated that they will be partnering with the company to fulfill my original order if I call and confirm the e-mail with customer service. They said that it might take up to 30 days but would honor the original order.... I'm definitely calling tomorrow!
 
I called them today. I'm very impressed with their customer service. Very good of them to honor the orders even though they were on clearance and I'm sure they sold out fast!

And a special thanks to Don for posting this awesome deal!!!!!!
 
There must be several of us and several from other forums. I told the customer service rep the order number and the first comment he had was "Is this about the worksharp?"
Thanks HD!
Do a good turn daily!

Mine is on order again

I just called, and the girl I talked to was very friendly and it was the most painless and pleasant call I have made to any company's customer service. New order number for the 3000. Looking forward to getting it and getting my tools nice and sharp.

A big thanks to the OP for bringing this to our attention!
 
Again on backorder

Also received email from HD - willing to honor original order - :smile::smile:

+1 for HD

But backordered, will get it when it arrives.

Thanks again DonHo for the post, I am sure I will put this to good use.
 
Anyone who got it on backorder actually received it yet? I got an email today appologizing for the delay in shipping, but that it would be shipped when they got more. The previous email had said they should have more in 30 days. Will we ever actually get this thing?!?!??
 
I think yes we will. It hasn't been 30 days yet. Let's give them time and a break. I don't care if it takes longer.

Patience is a virtue some lack. Todays manufacturing environment is of "lean manufacturing". It means low inventory of parts to manufacture goods with and a low finished goods inventory. Manufacturers typically use a "just in time" ordering structure. Meaning if they plan to make 2000 units beginning on a a given date, the components needed are ordered to arrive to coincide with the start of manufacturing.

Simply put, its likely that the manufacturer is having to build the number of units HD needs to fill all the orders.

If it's manufactured off shore of the USA, then that adds even more delays.

HD has said they will honor the orders that people called to reinstate. Its a great deal, give them time.
 
Yes we will

I called them today and was told that they were originally supposed to receive the shipment from Worksharp this week but it has been delayed until next week. Home Depot is supposed to receive them next week then start shipping them out.

I like to ask you guys who are buying this system that would you prefer to own this system or Wolverine system, since I don't have either one and I have to spend the money. And, if you already have the wolverine system then why are you adding this system to your toll collections?
Any help would be appreciated.
