Christmas In Late January

[kmmcrafts]

This morning I was going through all my saw blades and gathering the ones I don't use.. as I gave them to another member here so someone could get some use of them.. anyway going through the file cabinet where I keep blades I found a unopened envelope and low and behold.. a gross each of Pegas MG #3 and 5 that I purchased a long time ago.. maybe 4 years ago. LOL.. when I used to deal with Lesleys Patterns I think is the name.. so that's been a while ago.. Since I ran out and had been trying to use up my FD blades to sort of clean up my file cabinet.. before ordering more Pegas..

Nice find!
I use Lesleys for all my blade purchases.  Just got an order from them yesterday.

They had a rough period a few years back and I think the owner couple went through a divorce or something.. not sure how they are these days but that was pretty good to deal with at first.. But then that rough patch made the customer service terrible and they wasn't sending out the whole orders etc.. taking forever to get things shipped out.. If I remember correct they are in northern portion of OH and I'm southern MI so it shouldn't have taken 2-3 weeks to get an order.. I finally had enough and found another source which was DnD.. But now I prefer Denny at Artcraftersonline.com always a pleasure to do business with him and he is right here in the village group with us..

Good to know. 

I will have to send an order to Denny next time I need Pegas blades. 

FWIW, Lesley's has done fine every time I ordered over the last few months.. 
I went several years without placing any orders and then last year during Christmas season I decided to get a good stock of FD blades and they all arrived just fine.   
Their shipping does seem unusually slow though, I agree.  
The other night I wrote them an email and I got a reply back within the same hour.  
What I really like is that on their invoice they say "In Business to serve Christ". 
I checked the "about us" narrative on their web site and they are still a "mom-and-pop" family business mostly run by mom so I am not sure about what might have happened in the past.

I really liked doing business with them because they carried both Pegas and FD blades.. If I remember right they also sell Olsen.. was nice to be able to order all 3 brands from one source.. as I do use certain blades from each brand.. I'm not sure what was going on in the past.. I know there was a lot of complaints here and other scrolling sites about them..

Lesley's is in Dayton ohio which is 45 miles from me. I ordered some blades fdrom him after 2 weeks I emailed him about my order telling him what I ordered. I had already paid my credit card off and would like to have order. I finally got my order in about 2 weeks but with out the postage so I emailed him to send the postage. I never got  the postage and never sent for a nother order,
