I have a problem buying from somewhere that doesn't have a mailing address.

According to the domain registration, the name and address isn't listed either. This site is purposely hiding their identity.

Perhaps the phone number is real, but the address is the same as their hosting service 1and1.com

Phone: 877-206-4254

I would also not buy from them if they are afraid to give their name and street address.

Not meaning to judge here, but offering things that could be found in any respectable store or online store (oneway is distributed by every single store I know). And offering things that seem to be taken directly out of the PSI catalog

- just for a higher price (10% doesn't make it equall). doesn't strike me as a place where I would buy. You have what to improve guys...

That's actually the type of feedback I'm looking for so check again ... we just added our address. Our web registration is private not because we are hiding our identity. Just trying to foil spammers and domain hijackers, futile as that might be.

As a reference ... we've been selling Oneway products on Ebay for a while. You can check out our current listings (and feedback) on my Ebay store at

Oneway has told us our Ebay prices are too low (they have asked us to sign a MAP policy) so we will soon have to stop our Ebay listings. In it's place we offer discounts on our new web site. Our prices are excellent. With the discount, a complete Talon package including insert & #2 jaws would be $188. We guarantee this is the best price you'll find. If you have questions ... just give us a call or email us directly. I'm sure we'll be able to ease both your mind and your wallet. ;-)

Apropos of nothing really, I just read this as, "I'm sure we'll be able to _erase_ both your mind and your wallet..." Glad I wasn't drinking coffee.

I also purchased my Talon from them via Ebay and the item shipped quickly and arrived as advertised.

I have no problems with them and would use them again.

Well, I was going to order a Oneway Termite today, direct from Oneway... $79 us plus shipping...

I decided to give landing Crafts a try... ordered the Termite... after the 10% discount, the total was $73.65 with shipping...

Site seems clean, user friendly the shopping cart works well... (sorry, occupational habit.. )

I thought so too, it sounded a bit like price fixing, which is illegal in the US, but a bit of research reveals that an MAP is an agreement to a minimum *advertised* price only. As long as you advertise at that price you can sell at whatever price you want.

Must be why Amazon does all those "We can't tell you the price until you put it in the cart." listings. I've always been somewhat iritated by those, as the price never seems quite good enough to hide.

Don't stop now. A LOT of the links point to a page that simply says "Interested in a lathe? Contact us".

For me to buy, you need to provide quite a bit more product detail. For instance, what are the gripping ranges (etc) for the jumbo jaws? Will they fit other (non Oneway) chucks? People who already know this information already own these jaws. They are not your customers.

Hi Mac. Would you mind posting a followup after you receive the Termite as to shipping speed, appropriateness of packaging for shipment, appearance of product, etc?

Sorry, I meant to update that...

received an email the same day acknowledging the order...

Received followup email a few days after order was placed... confirming order, giving shipping notice and info for tracking on Fedex Home...

The package is due here on Dec. 17th...
