Getting ready to order Jessem Rout-R-Lift.
It is $268 including a 10% discount direct from Jessem.
Us Tool Depot has it on their website for $216.
I called them and asked if it was in stock and they said they would check and call me back. They seem to be a small company And I am sure if they keep any stock. I have read people bought Grizzly stuff like bandsaws and table saws but had to wait months for delivery. I am also concerned about if the product came damaged and had to make A return. maybe not worth saving $52?

I've normally, tend to not purchase from places I've never heard of. In the back of my mind, thinking "Too scams" out there. As your doing now, I try to verify they're an actual (legit) business. Also, are they in the Yellow Pages... You could check with the brands they sell (Laguna, Jet and Baileigh Industrial) to see if they are an authorized dealer. A matter of going to the Brands website, look for a tab "Find a Dealer". JessEm Tool Company

As far as a business in a Strip Mall. Northern Tool Co, Woodcraft and Rockler have locations in Strip Malls.

I have purchased online from companies before, that I've never heard of. With satisfied results. But I did try to verify they were.

Jessem's website is saying due to high demand shipping times have increased to two to three weeks.
I called them but just got a recording and left a message.
Looks like legit websites are saying the same thing.
I am not in that big of a rush so I will probably order from Jessem.
Thanks for the feedback.
