I just wanted to update everyone on my recent Toro MX5060 online purchase. I went with MowerSource.com out of MN. I was able to take advantage of the Toro $150 instant rebate, free shipping including lift gate service, and even an online $20 coupon (every little bit helps). They shipped it via FedEx Freight, the same day I ordered it. I ordered it on a Wednesday and received it yesterday. It was delayed a few days due to the holiday, and me pushing it off a day. If I had ordered it Tuesday, I would have received it on Friday. That's pretty amazing to go from MN to CT in that amount of time!
When it arrived, the outer carton was flopping around and was basically unattached. I asked the driver to make a note of that on his paperwork, but he went one better. After he put it in my garage, we took off the outer carton and he went over it with a fine tooth comb. There was not a single scratch or hint of damage of any kind. The hardes part was getting it off the pallets. There was a 5x8 foot pallet that the mower was on. This was then stacked on a 40x48 inch shipping pallet. After a few hours with an engine hoist, floor jack, hammer, pry bar, and a sawzall, I was all set.
To make a long story short, I would give MowerSource.com and FedEx Freight 5-star ratings, and wouldn't hesitate to do business with them again.
Thanks,
Bruce
