Où se trouvent les Grelots?

[Daves]

Since their arrival I haven't heard anything. I am worried that I missed some important bit of information about them. Could someone enlighten me?

Best,

Don't feel bad I haven't heard anything either. The last work was they would be accepting payment this past friday but there has been no further word. Just be patient.

UPDATE:

Thanks for your patience so far everyone. The Le Grelot's will be $260 (USD). Honing will be available for an additional $15. The shipping options will be FedEx Ground (fully insured), or USPS First Class with some sort of Tracking or Delivery Confirmation. If you opt for the latter, on a $260 razor, with no insurance, if it gets lost or damaged in the mail, we're not responsible. If it's lost or damaged by FedEx, you'll be taken care of. If the shopping cart lets us do insurance on USPS, we'll do it, but there's no guarantees it'll be available for that method.

We'll hopefully be able to start accepting money for the razors on Friday. Unfortunately, I'll be traveling from the 17th to the 23rd, so with any luck, I'll be able to box and ship these on the 24th. We're going to use Google Checkout as our primary payment processor, and hopefully have another option available sometime soon. We'd really prefer not to use Paypal, but if we can't get the other option in place in a reasonable amount of time, we'll do PayPal. Google's best for us, and it's what'll guarantee your razor goes out with the first shipment, but if Paypal's the only method you can use, we'll make it happen.

Lastly, we might be able to get our hands on a few more of these, so if you're interested, make sure you add yourself to the wait list here (http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php?t=45582) (the list was updated a short while ago).

Thanks guys!

I believe Nick will be sending out a mass PM update when it's time to pay.

Quoted recent posts from other threads.

I expect that a PM will be forthcoming once the razors are ready to be paid for.

There's a few of the originals on ebay France, not going for much at all. Shipping would be as much as the razor.

The question is do they ship here. Since I know no french, would some one give me an idea of what they say? I would send some one the money to bid on it and hone it.

I just got one!

Hopefully it's ok, will polish, sharpen 'n refit it with some nice wooden handle.
It's always a gamble to buy things on ebay but sometimes you make real bargains.

What did you have to pay to get it shipped to sweden?, looks like it was only available to france?

[Lemur]

Hi Asbjörn!

Yes, they usually only ship within France (as Americans 'n US, Grr),
but sent him a mail and asked and for €15 he shipped it to Sweden
or I hope he will, haven't got it yet.

[asbjorn]

:D, it is actually an slashed O -> Asbjørn

Shipping from france is extremely slow, I bought an 1918 Gillette, and it took forever before I had it, checked the stamp on hte package, and it had actually been in the post/mail the whole time.

Good that they ship to us in skandinavia also, now I have to look more closely at the french auctions then :)

[Lemur]

No you don't, they are all mine!
Got another from from France and it took like a week, not to bad.

Ok why do the French use the comma instead of a period for money? It throws me when I see 24,99 instead of 24.99.

Oh, why does the American's use inches instead of metric system? :D

Not only france uses comma instead of the period, it is always funny when working with a mixed blend of english and norwegian versions of excel etc..

Hey wait which one was first?
I am actually eying one of those French shavers, I just don't know if it is a good one or not. Anyone care to take a look? Ill pm the eBay page since ya cant link current auctions.

Oh boy, you must have some pretty big keyboards for your computers in Europe!! :rolleyes:

[mhdagley]

Is this a good deal?

Well, not so big :), but what about the chinese?, and japanese? :) several thousand keys..

We only have three extra characters => æ, ø and å. but we have lost some of the us characters, or, they are squeezed in elsewhere, like [], {} etc.

Amen to that. Thank god for the Find/Replace function. The commas and spaces are annoying.

I have to work in english and french, metric and imperial, decimal and hex (and binary at times)... I'm also fluent in a number of programming languages!

Please just kill me.
