HI everyone, purchasing online

Hi.

My name is Jean Defoy, Repentigny,qc Canada.

happy to be part of this wonderful community.

Recently I have been looking at great razors to buy outside of ebay.

I went ahead with one transaction and it is not going as I have anticipated. I am patiently waiting for my razor to show up (almost a month).

there have been some kerfuffle during shipping. some of it probably my fault.

This being said, I am know looking at another great razor but again outside Ebay.

I have to say my latest experience left me worried about sending away money with no guaranty I will see a razor.

How are you guys doing it? what happen when a transaction doesn't work a1?

Thanks for all your advises,

Jean Defoy

Hello Jean,
We order through sponsors of our site here & through our Buy/Sell/Trade section listed above.
We don't have any issues.

Hi Hirlau, what about buy/sell - individuals to individuals, members from the site?

That is what the BST is about. Members list their items for sale. I cannot remember any issues with it. Most all come shave ready. The BST section allows you to communicate directly with the sellers.

So, in the confine of the member list, I should be safe?

I've had only one issue with a member (no longer active as far as i know) but several good ones with others. i've met quite a few personally and can say honestly say that i trust them all and wouldn't hesitate to do business with them, (i guess there are bad apples in every bunch) I guess my point is, don't hesitate to buy from the classified.

Jdefoy66, if you have any issues with a purchase from this site, you can PM (Private Message) any of the Moderators.

When you buy, from this site or another, it is best to use PayPal and the "goods and services" option. This will give you a safeguard against losing your money!

Hello Jean, welcome here. With such a name and from La Belle Province, I guess that you are un peu francophone. Non ?
what kind of razor are you looking for? If you are interested in straights, you can also become member of le coupe chou club. Twice more chances to find your precious when on two forums.

You buy from the people you know, friends of friends, or if there are good references. If you're new, that makes it a bit difficult, but in time, you make friends and get to know the people. Meanwhile, buying from the BST section should be safe. Don't forget to exercise caution, always check who you're buying from (there is history and activity log on the forum) and use common sense. Welcome!

Bonjour Jean, and Welcome to SRP, There a member here named Badgister he lives in Montreal and sells quite a few razors on here, since your so close you should contact him. He is a fine member and also hones razors.

Thank you for the kind introduction Martin.

Jean, I just sent you a pm.

I have purchased from Badgister here and I can tell you from experience the razor is exactly as it is pictured, shipping is fast, and the honing is outstanding! I don't get a commission - just a happy fellow enthusiast.

Why not use EBay?

Just do your due diligence, look at the photos closely, (by copying to a photo editor and enlarging) descriptions, shipping, vendor’s history and feedback.

I’ve had much better luck with EBay than Craig’s list.

The BST is probably your safest bet, and as said most razors are truly “Shave Ready”. There have been some great deals lately.
