Delta Echo Razor Works @deltaechorazors-blog - Tumblr Blog

The holidays are coming up soon! Christmas is in less than three weeks folks, and all in-stock ready-to-ship safety razors can be gift-wrapped upon request. Even if it's a gift for yourself, why not adorn it a bit? ;-) #derazor #deltaechorazors #giftsforhim #vintagegifts

Shipping Changes

Due to issues with domestic speed and international tracking issues, the shipping charges on the site have been increased slightly. The increased shipping cost is for no other reason than all orders will now ship Priority Mail. This will allow domestic packages to be delivered in 2-3 days and international will be much faster as well. The most important change on the international side however is that true tracking is available almost everywhere using Priority. Using First Class shipping most international destinations provide spotty if any tracking.

For domestic orders, if you’d prefer your package arrive via First Class, just drop me a note and I’ll credit the difference between the old and new cost back to you.

For international shipments, if you’d like to receive lower cost shipping, I’ll be happy to ship the item First Class and credit the difference, however you’ll have to accept the liability for packages that get lost or stolen. With Priority Mail this is not an issue and I would encourage you to not use the First Class method.

Shipping prices on the site have been adjusted, however all orders domestic and international now ship Priority Mail

Based on feedback, I’ve adjusted the site again.

The ready to ship and on demand thing was causing confusion for some people. Based on the feedback I received, I’ve rolled everything back in to Razors for Sale. The options on each product will indicate if it is being made to order and an approximate time to ship.

This is the way we had done it in the past when there was going to be a delay in shipping. The general consensus seems to be that this caused and will cause less confusion.

As always, feel free to contact us with feedback or new ideas!

Updates to Site

Some updates are coming to the site. In an effort to streamline and manage things in a more predictable way, there will be three separate categories of products available.

The first one, Razors for Sale will become, Ready to Ship and will continue to showcase specific razors that have been refurbished and are already available.

We’ll also continue to have the Refinish Service available for customer razors to be sent for refinish and refurbish.

The last category is a new one. Razors On Demand. This category will list primarily Gillette Techs in the various color profiles. Once ordered these razors will enter the refinish queue, be finished, and then shipped. These razors will typically ship within a week of being ordered. This model will allow offering the current broad range of colors and the addition of new ones, without trying to manage creating stock that may not match immediate demand.

In other words rather than finish two Steampunk and two other razors, we can create 4 Steampunk razors, to match the orders placed.

Over time I will expand other razors such as New and Old Types. For now the model will be tested primarily with the Fat Handle Techs.

As always your thoughts and feedback are welcome. In addition I have a standing offer for anyone wanting to sell razors to contact us at [email protected]

So I’ve Finally Added a Blog

It’s clear that I need a way to communicate above and beyond what my current store site is providing to me. For now, I’m going to give using Tumblr a shot. At a minimum it will allow me to publish blocks of photos and information that people may find valuable. The photos themselves are being hosted via Flickr.
