Has anybody dealt with West Coast Shaving? I tried reaching them by phone and all I get is an answering machine asking me to leave a message. I am a little reluctant to order from their website because of this.
Never tried to phone them, but I've made two web orders through them. Both orders were fine; they shipped quickly. They did leave some blades out of one order, but quickly sent them when I pointed out the mistake. They seem to have a good reputation with other people around here.
Thanks, I guess I'll order my Merk tonight then. Check out my post on the cost of a shave in the newbie section.
I know the owner of WCS is a member over at badger & blade and the members there can't speak highly enough of him and his service.
He's a member here too: LetterK I've ordered from him before, and will do so again. John is a nice guy who runs his business on the side with help from his wife. I've only dealt with him via email and on the boards, but he's a class act all the way, as are most of the vendors who also frequent the shaving boards!
Another satisfied customer. I've only ordered from him once, but it was a good sized order - he has free shipping on orders over $80 and I needed blades and soap. He's been around several years and I've only heard good things. Bad vendors tend to get called out rather quickly among this community, so I rather trust long-term reputations. Surprisingly, I'm the only one who has left a vendor review (what's the deal guys!).
I've ordered several times from WCS and so have my sons. John, the owner, is very easy to deal with and the service is excellent. He pioneered blade sample packs. I find he has the best prices around for most of the items he carries. If you leave a number on his answering machine, he will return your call. WCS is A+ IMO.
they are awsome vendors you can feel confident ordering from them I have left message on the answering machine and they called me back within a few hours, I have also ordered 3 times from them and my orders have all shipped very fast(they are only 15 miles from me).
Concur with the above. I have ordered from him and received excellent service. Top notch company IMHO.
Thanks Vito. I did put my order in for a new Merk. Thanks Otherstar I put my order in. Thanks Glassmtn, I've put my order in. Thanks ChemErik and to all the others who recommended WCS. I put my order in for a new Merk.
I've used WestCoastShaving.com twice & the goods were delivered to New Zealand hassle-free in 7-8 days each time. Simply great service.
