HB supplies in UK
« on: October 05, 2008, 08:04:44 AM »
Hey Guys

First time poster from across the pond so go easy on me!

After a few years of using electric razors (and occasional patchy wet shave), I stumbled across Headblade on the internet and decided to give it a go. After initial bloodbath, am really pleased with it as the cut is far superior to anything I've had previously (ever).

My problem is that HB products are so expensive here in the UK. I've only been able to find retailers on the internet with high prices or US sites with prohibitively high postage costs. Does anybody know where I can get stuff more reasonably priced here in the UK or in Dublin where I visit regularly?

Great site, by the way.

Cheers

Neil

Have you talked to the guys at HeadBlade to see what the shipping would be from them?

I'm in the same boat, I can only  find them from online retailers. Thankfully some of them are UK based so I never have to wait longer than 48hrs usually for my order to arrive. Just miffed about paying a couple of quid for delivery when some guys can hook up Head Blade gear at high street.

Hi Chaps

Thanks for the responses.

After posting, I did discover an eBay seller in Long Island whose prices and postage are the most reasonable I've found. I've ordered a HB Sport from him and if the transaction goes without a hitch may place more orders for HB merchandise.

The automated checkout at HB gave the postage cost as more than twice the price of the goods, though I didn't contact them by email to see if alternatives were available.

Cheers
