IMO, the best deal is the two pack of 4Ah batteries for $48.

Overlooked:

Get the fan; it's a really good deal. That's the newer model from this deal:
https://slickdeals.net/f/15951505-2-pack-ryobi-one-18v-4-0-ah-compact-battery-charger-kit-one-hybrid-fan-99-free-shipping

Except instead of 2x 4AH battery + charger for $99, it's 1x 2AH battery + charger for $30.
Gonna quote a user from that thread on runtimes (using a 4AH battery, so ~ halve them for the 2AH battery)



Since it's "hybrid", that means there's a male plug underneath where the battery goes in, so you can plug an extension cord into it and into the wall to run it off normal house outlet power.

Whenever it takes a long time to ship (or says "processing order" for awhile), it makes me nervous that the vendor will cancel the order.

I'm talking to you, BBuy.

Whenever there's a big sale at DTO.. shipping will be in either days or weeks.

Received 1 of 3 orders yesterday. Others still in process. I ordered one with free items, but never showed up. Called customer service and the picture is just for reference… if it had a free tool, it should be in the cart together when you add it. If it doesn't show up, they ran out of the free tool. Well, now I know how their free tool works. Just wanted to share for others wondering how that works.

Also, factory blemish tools are brand new condition. RYOBI Fan delivered in RYOBI box with label attached, RIDGID compressor arrived in RIDGID box with label attached. RYOBI vacuum came in a box with TTI logo, but it is a little banged up for some reason. Still haven't opened, but I'll take pictures before opening.

Quote from CrankyBastard :
I ordered one smallish item Friday the 27th.

Label created the 28th, and was in Fedex's hands late 29th. Delivered today.


But here's my question -- I've only ordered multiple items from DTO in the past, and they've shipped together in boxes, with TTI's logo on them, pretty much as expected.

With this order, they simply slapped the slipping label on the factory box, and off it went.

I'm curious if DTO has always done this with smaller, or single items, or is it a new practice?

I haven't opened it yet, but the item appears new, and hopefully intact.

I commonly order things from overseas, and they are only wrapped in un-padded plastic, and never boxed, so it's not necessarily an issue all the time.

However, I do want to log this in my memory bank, in the same way as "(Newegg and Amazon liked to) ship a bare hard drive in a box with one pillow pack" is logged by a lot of folks, for future consideration when shopping.
I have placed orders for single items and multiple items before. If a single item they just label the box with shipping label. If multiple items, as long as they all ship from the same warehouse, the items are placed in another box. During this last sale, one of my single orders (sprayer) just arrived today with a shipping label on the box. Arrived fine and 100% brand new with no blemishes.

I ordered a blemished Ryobi drill in November 2021, and that is exactly how it came for me,

with a shipping label stuck to the actual retail box. That's my only experience of single item DTO purchases.

Exactly what I wanted to know. Thanks both.

I was kind of surprised my order shipped so quickly, but I guess putting in a simple order, early in the sale, beats the rush.

I ordered a factory blemish ridgid belt sander a year or two ago, and it shipped in the retail factory box, no brown cardboard box. I tried to figure out what the blemish was, and couldn't find anything, looked perfect to me.

Placed three orders from this sale between 1/27 and 1/29: two for shipping and one for store pickup. Would've liked to do store pickup for all since the store is about 9 miles from my house, but not everything was available for pickup.

Finally got tracking # for the first order (11-piece tool set and wet/dry vacuum) late last week and FedEx delivered it today. And of course there's only the vacuum even though packing list shows both as shipped. Package definitely does not weigh 76.1lbs as indicated by FedEx and I don't think they'd even pack both in the same box. At least not in this box which only fits the vac, anyway.

Called CS and she had no idea. Now I need to email them pics and probably wait another couple of weeks or something. Grrr... I absolutely HATE DTO's ship orders! Always something with them. Frown

My order was shipped with FedEx, two boxes under a master tracking number. Got one today and the other should arrive tomorrow although box boxes should have arrived today. Both were shipped same day.

FedEx temporarily seems to have forgotten about my package. Ordered on 1/27. Got about 30 miles from my house on Sunday evening and sat there for 48 hours. Was supposed to be delivered today. Finally started moving again at 6pm today and now scheduled for tomorrow....

Called local store to check on the status of my pick-up order from 1/28 and the girl said it was rejected because they didn't have them in stock and I should've received an email. Nope, no email. While on the phone, I checked whether I could place an order right now and it showed available for store pickup and of course they were, but she can't open the rejected order anymore.

Meh... Kinda want to call BS on them being OOS when they got the order, but what ever. At least it was stuff I didn't really HAVE to have right now.

Still waiting to hear back from CS regarding my missing 11-piece set that was supposedly delivered on Monday, which it wasn't. Pretty sure that will now also get canceled. Not to mention what will happen with my third order I placed on 1/29. Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

I'm a patient guy, but these people sure suck once again. Mad

Got my order today. One of the 4 items is clearly used - the Ryobi scrubber. The box was taped closed and it had clearly been opened before. The scrubber brush head was also clearly used. I don't think blemished is supposed to be used, that's what the reconditioned stuff is. It seems to work fine, not sure if I should do anything about it
