Hi again! I live in Calgary Canada. I ordered some blades from Mikes, and was just wondering how long it usually takes to get them.I know that's why they call it snail mail, but i guess i am just not very patient !

Mike usually ships via 1st clas mail within a day. I usually get my order within a few days. My experience shipping to Canada where I use to work is that sometimes mail gets suck in customs for up to a week.

Mine takes a week to get to NZ, which is pretty good.
Great service, go Mike.

I just ordered for the first time from Mike today, he said they would go out today. So we will see how long it takes to send to Indiana. I'm guessing by this saturday or the following monday.

I typically get mine within 2-3 days...

It takes an average of 5 to 7 days to Canada. Mail goes over land, no air mail in Canada.Mike

I have his blades in my shop cutting wood on the 3rd day...counting the order day as one of the 3. Mike is good and the US postal system is not bad, no matter how much we bad mouth it.

I ordered from Mike for the first time last week. In three days I was on my way to understanding why everyone likes these blades.

From South Dakota to florida in that short of a time is great.

Mikes a great guy to talk to, knows what he sells!!!!

I have been waiting just about three weeks! I finally contacted Mike ,and there seems to have been a slight mix up in the shipping address. Mike was very gracious and said he would send the order again.Canada Post has often lost or misdelevered our mail. THANKS MIKE.!!!!
