PC on backorder...

I ordered a PC from detailcity.com on saturday, they hadnt charged my bank account or anything so I was getting alittle fishy. I was going to call them today but I got an email saying they are on backorder till thursday(tomorrow). Were going on a big trip this weekend and I was really wanting to buff our car before we went, but I guess thats not going to happen. I asked if he would give me an upgraded shipping(2day or something) free of charge, but he said he wouldnt make any money on the product if he did that. I was cool about it and toally understood.

So if anyone has gotten one in the past couple days, thats why you havent gotten it. It was only $141 with shipping and a finish pad. I noticed they took the price up to $130 after I got it for $120.

Is there a reason you chose to purchase online versus locally?

A lot of us have been able to buy our PCs locally at Lowe's for $100-$120. Of course, pads and a proper backing plate won't be available at Lowes, BUT there is an included finishing pad that can be used for waxing.

This one came with a free backing plate($20) plus was cheaper than the one at lowes. Someone told me not to use the pad that comes with it anyway. I orderd some from meguiars at the same time I ordered the buffer and it took them two days to get here.

i ordered mine from autogeek, but it was a full kit that included the backplate and necessary pads, towels, etc. it shipped right away...although slowly via UPS ground.

the pad that comes with it is fine for waxing....it doesn have much bite at all....I use it solely for NXT liquid

I ordered my PC online about a month ago, for $114 shipped, I got the PC, a 5" flexible backing plate, and the finish pad

I'm looking for a pc also. Where did you get yours?

I ordered my PC 7424 recently from Amazon.com for $119. I also ordered a couple of spare PC polishing pads. I placed the order on Monday, it was shipped the next day and received it on Friday. I've used it once to apply Meguiars NXT and it did a great job! I haven't decided yet whether I'll get the Sonus foam pad kit. Need some time before I screw up the courage to further 'restore' my wife's car with the perfect shine kit or equivilant.

Ahh, only if I would of known.

I thought that website was a good place to order from? And it may be. I always have bad luck, so Im use to it.

I waited over a month for detail city to even ship my order, not good.
