merlin Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 I was going to order from WTB but they want $12 shipping but when I ordered from Mike (when he had it) he only charged at most $4.50-$5.00. I only order a small amount cause of import duties. ***Merlin*** OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you order through Mike's Workshop or WTB? I do not see that they are back ordered at Mike's workshop. I would get in touch with WTB if that is where you ordered through and cancel and reorder from Mike's. I know, same company, but maybe different somehow. I would at least ask.

WayneMahler Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 I ordered a gross of blades from Mike's Shop. Got them in the same amount of time, and all the prices stayed the same. This was a concern as I order a lot of blades. The only difference I experienced was the email Mike sent out the same or next day saying it was shipped and thinking me. Always made me feel appreciated. They did include a small paper that said the numbers had changed for customer service but that ws the only differences in the order. WTB did say they were keeping his site and prices, and I hope they continue to do so. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cage Posted November 22, 2021 Report Share Posted November 22, 2021 Hi, Anyone in Canada order form Mike’s Workshop, Inc. Spirit Lake, ID? I don't want to get caught up with import duties, brokers fees, and other such nonsense. I contacted them directly, but they replied as follows: "We have many customers in Canada! As for fees, we do not know what fees you would have to pay." Thanks OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmmcrafts Posted November 23, 2021 Report Share Posted November 23, 2021 1 hour ago, old sarge said: Have you folks tried ordering blades from Leslies? http://flyingdutchmanscrollsawblades.com Yes, used to do a lot of business with them. I think the couple that run it went through divorce and customer service was non-existent.. maybe they've got things running good again.. but I give a business 3 strikes just like a ball game.. and depending on how they handle situations maybe only one strike.. anyway they was always good to me until 3 different times they forgot to mail my order.. one time they mailed half of it and said the other half would be a couple weeks because they was on back order.. 6 months later when I ran out of blades I remembered I never got my other half.. they did make it right.. but I guess I honestly thought they'd do a little extra for royally messing that up.. mess ups was a common thing and I got tired of that so gave someone else my business. I think what happen is the wife would run the business during the day and the husband worked.. the divorce made the husband end up doing it all.. and orders were late etc.. at one time there was a lot of folks complaining about the slower service. Replies from them was that he works full time+ and then trying to run the business.. hopefully they have things figured out by now.. I just got tired of all the excuses etc. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom-in-Ashland Posted November 23, 2021 Report Share Posted November 23, 2021 Yes, Bearwood is in western Canada. I'm in Oregon, have ordered from them, they ship promptly and I get delivery in 4-5 business days. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don in brooklin on Posted November 23, 2021 Report Share Posted November 23, 2021 I usually order from Mikes Workshop that is run now by Wooden Teddy Bear. I am a die hard Flying Dutchman user and I order by the gross. Usually takes about a week to come to Canada. I have never paid customs yet. They end up costing with shipping and conversion to Cdn $ about $4 CDN. a dozen. A friend of mine recommended SawBird http://www.sawbird.com/scroll_saw_blades.htm. He found the NIQUA the same as the Flying Dutchman. I will try them next time I order. They have Pegas too. NOTE> US buyers get a 20% discount on the money.

scrollerpete Posted November 23, 2021 Report Share Posted November 23, 2021 (edited) I got some blades from Sawbird and they are not as good as Flying Dutchmen. I ordered some from Mikes workshop and no duties at all, came in a postage envelope.
