Thanks, I just ordered two of them! Been looking for a welder for my cabin anyhow. Figure the other one would make a good backup for when my POS Lincoln acts up. Made sure I paid for them up front and got a confirmation number!
I checked the part number on the miller web site and it says the only thing required is:
"Additional items may be required for welding, such as shielding gas, consumables, and safety equipment."
The pictre shows the gun and everything
Under "Additional Information" tab:
"Auto-Set™ feature allows for quick and easy set-up. Spatter-free start with tip saver and trigger reset. Include regulator, 10-ft. MIG gun, and hose cart."
The optional gun shown with the welder for $267 is for doing aluminum welding where you are using a softer wire. The softer wire does not feed correct if at all via the internal feeder.
Ok well I just called grainger shipped to my door (Marquette MI) with the spool gun its $785.36 :beerbang:. I then called airgas and told them what I was looking for and they quoted me with out tax and no cart $1082.03.
The welder in the picture, though isn't an autoset. So maybe they are shipping the new ones. It doesn't have the autoset graphics on the side or the green on the dial.
has anyone with a company discount checked to see what price they can get this for? usually i get most things from grainger for approx. 60% of their list price.
After seeing my order was missing from my Grainger account,
I called Grainger to verify my order, Grainger said they will not honor the price that it was purchased for... But they did say that I could buy it for $1100.00

I have talked with 2 differant Granger reps about my order:
Excuses made by Grainger so far are:
1) price was wrong, and will they not honor it
2) out of stock so they won't honor price
3) must be shipped from manufacturer not sold on will call
4) manufacturer is out of stock and not making more
5) and finally I was told they are working with Miller and a marketing rep will call eveyone who ordered one and discuss it

The pricing was a fucked up they pulled it off to fix the pricing! I tried to place an order last night and had issues on contacting them so I waited till today to fix my problem and now it looks like I wont be getting one even thoe I had it in my cart and have a quote # . The lady I talked to said the people that have their order all ready in will be getting them thoe !
I then called miller and talked to the sales rep and he said they just sell them in bulk to grainger and grainger is responsible for their own pricing. Miller also said grainger is not out of stock and nor is miller and they are still making them .
I received a voicemail from the Flint Grainger store and they claim this welder could not be sold in Michigan confused so they had to cancel the order.
Same thing here, the order went through fine and it created an order number confirmation and I requested will-call from the Flint location. This morning I checked the status of the order on Grainger's website and it's not recognized.
It would be cool if they honored the orders but I'm not counting on it.
Well after the 1.5 hour merry-go-round I have found out that Miller DOES in fact have their hands in the pot and has cancelled ALL orders from grainger and they DO NOT want their product to be sold that cheep.
Who thinks Grainger and miller should eat up the cost and still sell them at the sale price to anyone that had made an order? This makes me think of the tow straps that were miss marked and that company went good for the all ready posted orders!
I have been told that we need to keep on their heals about this! Its not our fault that someone in the IT department screwed up on the pricing why are we the ones getting screwed !
