I  ordered the folding shop crane from HF about two and a half
weeks ago.  Wednesday afternoon it showed up on my back porch,
shipped UPS, not freight, in two boxes.  

When I finally got around to opening the boxes last night I found
that the 8 ton hydraulic ram (jack) was missing.  Called customer
service and they said that they would ship one out (7-14 days shipping
time, no offer to overnight the part).

>From the reaction of the woman on the phone, it sounded as if this
happens all of the time.  I guess that the lesson here is not to order
from these guys if you need the tool in a hurry.  I wonder if they thought
that I would think that I had to supply my own ram.

Aside from that, the crane seems to be pretty well made.  I am glad
that I spent the extra $ on the folding one,  With legs extened, this
thing takes up quite a bit of floor space.
