~12 weeks from the day you order as of the last couple weeks. I was told 11 when I ordered 2/4 and expect it 4/22

Wicked 60 - 12 weeks 3 days from order to shipping dock contacting me. They were quoting about 10+ weeks when I ordered 12/29. 10-12 weeks made no real difference for me as it is/was Winter.
I still don't have it to my property, so another few weeks before I get to try it out.

I just ordered one of their XD 6-way blades and they said 12-14 weeks out. I talked to a couple local farm equipment dealers before hand and they're 16+ weeks out.

I have two EA products. The 5' Heavy Duty Box Blade is an absolute beast and very well made. I also have the 5' Pine Needle Rake, which for my needs is so much more than the name implies. It handles so many chores around my 26 acres, I honestly don't know how I got by without it.
Maybe if you change the name to something less dainty, it would sell better. What an awesome tool.
Love EA implements!

I've bought several attachments from EA. Recently I had a situation in which I needed to take care of a leak on the dive case on a rototiller I bought from them*. I had been referred to contact a certain person and when I got someone on the line it was Ted! Really threw me off: my brain knew the voice, but it wasn't ready to associate it as Ted's. Anyway, Ted was willing to order me a new gasket (as I was looking to do) but said that I could very likely just reseal using RTV. As the original gasket wasn't torn I decided to try what Ted suggested: he even told me to just slightly snug things and allow the sealer to set up a bit and then after a while tighten fully. I don't normally endorse businesses or products, but EA is a case where I have no compunction to doing so.
*Wouldn't have had a leak if FedEx hadn't mishandled the rototiller! (it's a long story, but I wasn't able to check for damage when I picked it up- oh, and EA got me a new part that they weren't obligated to do) Friends don't let friends use FedEx! (I'm That pissed at FedEx over this!)

My experience with FedEx has been consistently excellent!

As they say, your results may vary!
Maybe we start a poll?

Same here!
They were once stuck in my drive and I used my CUT to free him.
The next day I received a thank you gift delivered by--- FedEx!
Class act!

Fedex drops stuff randomly within 600 feet of my house. It's like a scavenger hunt!
Even dropped of a box in the snow near (not at) my neighbors. Mushy when found a few weeks later.
Even had one box in the drainage ditch by the road...
Never an issue with UPS/USPS

FedEx Ground and FedEx Small Package are two different operations. FedEx Ground is the former RPS service and is run with each truck being an independent contractor. FedEx small package is the main FedEx business. If the truck is green lettering, FedEx Ground. Violet and orange - small package.
We use them exclusively for all of our deliveries world wide. We find FedEx Ground deliveries a very varied experience, especially in rural regions.
United Package Smashers (UPS Brown) were thrown out of our company both on price and on poor service.
Delivered Half Late (DHL) was also tossed for price and poor service
and then there is the Ultimate Sloppy Performance Service (USPS) who cannot manage to get out of their own way to deliver goods, even when shipping by priority service. They fail miserably. On our order page, if a customer selects USPS, we ask them, "You sure?" So many problems with USPS. We offer the service intending it for the military and for customers who only have a PO Box address.
Our experience, FedEx is the best at getting it done. Are they perfect? No. That's why we hired a service to keep a watch on them. We get a lot of service refunds from FedEx failing to get the job done when they say they will get it done.
Rural deliveries are tough with all of these services...
Want to talk freight disasters? We have a shipment coming into the US from China for wires - nothing sophisticated... been hung up off the West Coast for 4 weeks now awaiting a berth - first Seattle, then in Vancouver, then back to Seattle, where they have been sitting off the coast for 10 days... Shipment is being handled by our friends at FedEx Ocean Freight and they can do nothing. The ports are all backed up owing to Covid related absences we are told.
Logistics is expensive and a nightmare right now. The electronics industry is a nightmare with parts quotes out to 96 weeks.. unheard of. Thanks Covid...

I think we diverge much from the intent of this thread.. I would assume EA has seen many of the issues I mention but with their goods made in the USA, they likely have more control than others. They likely use contract freight LTL services here in the states for the heavy pieces.
