What's your biggest deterent from buying shaving products online?

[Head Bald Guy]

We have been paying VERY close attention to the postings about Shipping Costs and we agree with you. Beginning March 1st, Bald Guyz will be changing our shipping policy. As you all know the cost of US Mail, FedEx Ground/Home Delivery and UPS keep rising, and this does not sit well with us. We tried to offset the rising costs by providing product discounts and special offers but the shipping costs are way out of wack and eat up the savings to you.

So beginning March 1st we will be offering Flat Rate Shipping for all online orders. All orders, whether (1) item or 10 will be shipped for $2.95. This is a lower cost than shipping one tube of any of our products First Class Mail.  This offer is for orders shipped to the contiguous 48 states only.

We will keep this offer up for the month of March to see how it is received. If it goes well this will be our everyday program. We hope that you take advantage of this and we look forward to your comments.

I only buy on-line stuff I familiar with. I like to check ingridients, how it smels like, etc.
BTW, maybe somebody knows which store has HeadBlade Matt aftershave gel in stock?
I saw only shaving creme, which I don't need.

For me it is the security factor. I don't like giving out credit card information online. Identity theft being what it is I don't buy something online unless it is absolutely necessary.

I don't have an objection to buying online, I'm just one of those instant gratification kind of people.  I want it right now! 

Oh, hammerdrill I used to feel the same way until one day I realized that ALL of our accounts, bank, retirement, credit cards, etc are all online anyway.  If someone wants to be you, they will succeed.  Buy from reputable companies that you are familiar with.

Shipping cost ... Instant gratification !!

I'd have to say that I didn't really think about it but shipping cost would be a deterrant.  But the real thing is I'm an instant gratification guy, too.  I even buy my glasses at one of those 1 hour joints.  I know I am paying more, but I don't have to wait a week, etc.

In my case where I live (Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada) I could not find the headblade and/or blades, head slick etc anywhere locally so I had to order online. It took about 5 days from 1 province over which was kind of a bummer but when the stuff finally did arrive I was ok with the outcome.

I think my biggest thing about ordering online is not being able to check the quality (touch it first), or check for other products from same company (ie. Headblade).

The shipping aspect is something I just accept since most of the stuff I have EVER ordered online has come state side.

I am not deterred from ordering online I just wish I had a local solution

Shipping, and most shaving stuff I find online I can find locally for less. If I can find something made locally I will ALWAYS go for it unless it is a ridiculous price.
