    Thumbs up Review of Fendrihan

    After getting some info from Alfred (very responsive), I placed an order from the store. Mostly wanted to pick up a one-handed non-dildo nosehair trimmer, but since my strop dressing had gone bad and was running low on Clubman, also ordered the Fromm dressing (similar or identical formulation to what Tony Miller used to send out way back when, works great on leather, the only beef is the bottle as it doesn't allow dispensing small amounts only without a q-tip) and Clubman Bay Rum (heavy on the cloves but pleasant, tones the skin nicely).

    I placed the order on Tuesday, it was shipped out on Wednesday and arrived this morning (the last part is attributed to the fact that he doesn't ship too far from here and the Canada Post distribution center from which my parcels go out for delivery is about half-way between us). Everything was well-wrapped and arrived in undamaged condition. Will shop again.

    I have ordered from Fendrihan a couple of times and have had similar experiences. Decent prices (at least for the items I bought), good packaging, and really quick shipping. I am in Ontario too so I don't know how the shipping times translate to other regions.

    But on the whole, I can have no complaints!

    I've ordered from them several times over the years. Always
    received the correct order, no damage, on time.

    I'm on the East Coast and always get my package quickly. I find they answer questions quickly and with no nonsense as well, which I really like.

    I've made a couple orders. Very pleased with both transactions. I'm in Nova Scotia so the shipping is about a week of business days, but that's the way it is in the Maritimes. I'm very much trying to plan my next order and make it a large one, love the store though very happy to have a Canadian supplier.

    I have recently made several purchases from Fendrihan and have found them to be exceptionally fast at shipping the items, about 3 days to my door.

    Alfred's great to work with. I'm close by so he's even been good enough to allow in store pickup. I'll deal with him again...

    I'd blow most of the shipping money on fuel, not to mention the tight time constraints, but it doesn't surprise me. Comes off as a guy who gives great service.

    My first purchase from Fendrihan arrived today (I'm in Victoria BC), even earlier than expected. It was a good test - after initially placing an order for a Merkur 38C and one pack of blades, I decided it would be more cost-efficient to get a sample pack, so I emailed them directly explaining what I'd like to do. Sure enough, an immediate response came with some simple instructions. Needless to say, the order arrived with the correct contents; no confusion, no screw-ups, aside from my own indecision. Well, heck, it's like a candy-store in there...I'm only human.

    Always a good thing when your first experience with a company is a good one, wouldn't you say? I recommend Fendrihan to anyone looking for a solid online supplier of shaving needs.
    Can it be barbaric and civilized at the same time?

    I ordered some creams a few days ago, received a paypal receipt, but no confirmation from Fendrihan, is this normal for them? Maybe they're on vacation.
