Ordering is easy. You may shop here on-line or give us a call Toll Free at 1-800-476-4849 and we'll process your order over the phone.
In-stock items are shipped from our warehouse via Estes Express within two (2) business days of placing your order. When your machine ships, we'll provide your tracking number. See details below.
Your Smithy machine has been thoroughly inspected at the factory by our employees. Enlist two or three friends (pizza and beer are a good bribe) to move your Smithy into your shop. Partial disassembly is easy: for example, remove the tailstock and millhead. The Setup DVD, included, makes machine setup simple.
Machines within the Continental US, lower 48 states, are shipped using Estes Express. We offer three levels of services for machine delivery, from Basic to Deluxe.
Basic Delivery - brings your machine to the Estes Express trucking terminal nearest you. Call us Toll Free at 1-800-476-4849. You will be notified when your machine has arrived and you can arrange pick up. Estes Express Carriers will load your machine into an open bed pickup, cargo van, or trailer.
Business Delivery - Estes Express Carriers will bring your machine directly to your business. Your business needs to be able to accommodate a semi-trailer and must have equipment such as a forklift to off load your machine when it is delivered.
Deluxe Delivery - This is the ultimate convenience! Your machine will be delivered curbside to the end of your driveway on a main road and lowered to ground level by a lift gate truck. Your area must be accessible to a semi-truck and someone must be home to accept delivery. If you have any questions regarding the accessibility to your home, please contact the nearest Estes Express Carriers terminal for assistance. To find the nearest terminal call us Toll Free at 1-800-476-4849.
Transit Times
Transit times vary depending on your location. The best way to determine transit time is to go to Estes Express Website.
Please note: Delivery time is to the destination terminal. If you have opted for Deluxe Delivery, there will be an additional 1-3 days dependent on the terminal's liftgate delivery schedule.
Once your machine has left our facility, we will e-mail you the tracking number (if you have supplied an e-mail address), known as the Pro Number in the trucking world. Go to the Estes Express Website and click on "Shipment Tracing" in the left sidebar and type in your Pro Number. Once your machine has reached the destination terminal, a customer service representative from Estes Express Carriers will contact you to let you know that your machine is ready for pick-up. If you have opted for Deluxe Delivery, a customer service representative from Estes Express Carriers will call you to set-up a delivery time.
If you are picking up at an Estes Express Carriers terminal your machine will be loaded into your vehicle for you with a forklift. If you have opted for Deluxe Delivery, Estes Express Carriers will bring your shipment curbside to the end of your driveway on a main road, it will be lowered to the ground with a lift gate and is your responsibility to bring the crate inside your workshop.
