I ordered an Avante 18 (frame and machine) a week and a half ago on a Friday. They said delivery in a week. So, last Friday I called and she talked to her delivery guy, who said that I would get a call this week to schedule delivery. (Christmas excuse.) It's Tuesday already and no phone call yet. Getting anxious, wanting to play with my present.....not wanting to wait yet another week with New Year's this weekend!

Thought I would post just so I would have company to keep my mind off of my machine not being here yet!

That is a long time. I ordered my machine on a Tuesday and it was delivered on Friday. It is only a couple of hundred miles though.

Ok, now you are making me feel worse- it's only about 50 miles away. It's going to take less an hour to get to me.

That is crazy, I guess it is the holidays causing the problems.

Oh lucky you, hopefully you will get the call soon. Enjoy, I had to take a day off of work for my "training" on my HQ16. Now I can't wait to get home to my Queeny.

I test drove the Avante 18, it runs very smooth. What table did you get with it?
