Find quick answers to your questions below... What is Surplus?
As well as selling a full line of NEW tools, Equipment Sales and Surplus is contracted with the WMH Tool group (JET, Powermatic, Wilton, Performax, Columbian, Waxmaster) to handle all of their Overstocks, Freight Returns, Scratch and Dent, Tradeshow returns, Warranty Returns, Discontinued Models, Etc...
What is the difference between Surplus and New?
Our surplus stock that is sold on the website may have some cosmetic blemishes (paint scratches, peeled stickers etc…), dull blades, or may have simply been set up incorrectly by the end user, there are a number possible reasons for an item to be surplused to us. The important thing to keep in mind is that all surplus items that we sell are in excellent working condition the majority have never been used and all carry our 90 day surplus parts warranty. All new items carry the full manufacturers warranty. (see shipping and return policy for more details)
What if I should have a problem after the surplus warranty has expired?
We support the tools we sell for the life of the tool. If you should EVER have a problem with one of the tools we sell contact us by phone or via email and we will see that you get taken care of. We provide parts at cost for the absolute life of the machine. (Original buyer only, blades and accessories not included)
How often does surplus inventory change?
Surplus inventory changes daily and, unfortunately, there is no way for us to forecast when we may get a specific item. We do keep a "Wish List" so if there is an item that you would like to purchase surplus we will put you on the list and contact you when one arrives on a first-come first-served basis. Can I combine items in a single purchase to meet the free freight requirements?
Yes! New and surplus items can be combined into one order to meet the free freight requirements. *Shipping Policy* We at Equipment Sales make every effort to ship you order within 24 hours. Estimated shipping and delivery dates are based on method of shipping. Although we stock many items, there are some that may be out of stock, or items that are not stocked and would be delivered directly from the manufacturers facilities (drop-shipped). In these cases additional days will be added to the expected delivery for truck-freight and non-truck freight orders. For orders that are not in-stock and cannot and cannot be drop-shipped from the warehouse, the order will have to be “double-shipped,” shipped to us and then re-shipped to its final destination. You will be notified in advance of such situations, as they will incur an additional 4-6 days shipping time.

Shipments to Alaska, and Hawaii Shipments to Alaska and Hawaii will be delivered to a Port Terminal, or Barge Terminal in the Contiguous 48 US states at the appropriate freight rate (see shipping cost for Freight and Non-Freight items). Unfortunately this is the extent of our shipping involvement for Alaska and Hawaii. EqSS is not responsible for shipping arrangements, air, barge or LTL from the (domestic/conterminous 48 states) terminal to the order’s final destination, and such expenses will be the end-users expense. Please contact us with any questions.
Shipments outside the US Shipments outside the US do not qualify for free freight under the “NO B.S. Shipping” shipping program and will be subject to current actual rates plus any special handling or shipping fees.
Things to know about your shipped order Once processed, you can expect your order to take 4-7 business days with the exception of any situations noted within the shipping policy. For residential and liftgate delivery, the terminal will contact you upon item arrival and you will asked to schedule a delivery time. These times are generally in the morning. You may also be able to make arrangements with the trucking company to take delivery at the freight terminal. They will load it onto your vehicle. Make sure your vehicle is capable of handling the weight. Also, bring plenty of tie downs to properly secure the load. We only deal with, what we consider, to be the safest and most courteous trucking companies, however truck drivers are subject to a number of regulations one of which is that they are not required (although they are often extremely helpful) to give assistance unloading. If you choose to have your items delivered to a residential address please be prepared for this “curbside” delivery, as you are responsible for unloading the item(s) and placing them into your shop. This normally takes a couple of “friends.” For residential or residential with lift gate delivery your location must be tractor-trailer accessible.
Shipping Damage Equipment Sales and Surplus uses what we believe to be the best carriers in the country. However, on rare occasions shipping damage can occur. It is extremely important to inspect and note any damage that might be suspect. Holes, dents, tears, etc… should be noted on the BOL the driver gives you to sign accepting delivery. These notations will allow us to make a claim for shipping damage on your behalf. Failure to do this may make a claim impossible. If there is shipping damage and you have noted it on the BOL you can email us at [email protected] and/or contact us at (866) 831-0722. Items that have obvious signs of severe damage should be refused and Equipment Sales and Surplus contacted at the number above.
Back orders There may be instances where orders or portions of orders are out of stock. These items will automatically be placed on back order and shipped when made available. Credit cards will not be charged until item(s) are shipped. You will be contacted with this information. In the case of multiple items on one order, partial orders will be shipped as per policy and you will be contacted regarding back-ordered items. Returns and Warranty Policy:
