661R Fever ...it's here!!!

[MustangMike]

Think U could talk UR brother into getting me one too??? I'm kinda low on funds, and he sounds like a real generous guy! I'll PM ya my address!

He is a generous guy, but I think I already cleaned out his funds for now with my saw, at least till he gets my check. He wasn't generous enough to eat the cost of mine.

So I talked my brother into getting me a 661R. He paid for it today and it will be ordered monday due to the distribution center being closed, they claim it will be in tuesday. He is going to ship it from Cypress, Texas to Indiana for me. What would be the best way to ship it, UPS, USPS? My T540xp top handle was shipped UPS and the side cover got broke and it is only an 8lb saw. I would hate for this saw to get messed up or stolen during shipping.

If you dont mind me asking, what did he get it for?

 

[Laslabjohn]

1150+tax for my 661R +36" b&c

Mine was 1260 in dallas

What would that be in New Zealand dollars.? Just to get a idea what they are around the world price wise.!!
I'm not clever enough to work it out
I payed $2200 New Zealand dollars for my 661cm

My 661R was $1159 with 25" bar and chain, plus somewhere between 7-8.5% tax and around $30 shipping from Texas. So like $1270-1280ish. Final amount to be determined post shipment. I justified the shipping cost by avoiding any potential price hike Jan 1st. As a bonus, I will also get the saw 1-3 weeks sooner than I could have around here.

$1260 plus tax or $1260 total?

 

[Dave4610]

1150+5.5% tax....1213 for my 661R +36" b&c sold b&C for 115 so PHO 1100

Sounds like if I need a saw in the future I need to get you to pick it up and ship it to me

Finally got pictures of 661cm I think it's the same as the ones world wideView attachment 390023

Oops some think went wrong it doubled up with the pics
