The New Sampler Kits Are In!

[Nick]

Most of the goods we were expecting have arrived, and after some delay, we're pleased to announce our next run of sampler kits are available for sale. There are a lot of newcomers added to the kit this time, a lot of exciting difficult to find products, and even a few regular sized products. Because we have 30 DR Harris samples and 50 of everything else, there are actually two kits available. The kit including DR Harris samples is available for 6 dollars more. When you come accross products in the kit that you enjoy and buy full-sized versions of, feel free to let the manufacturer/retailer know that you came across their product thanks to them participating in the Badger & Blade Sample Kits.

Edited to add: Please keep in mind, due to the alcohol in the colognes and some aftershaves, we cannot ship these kits internationally.

Great looking kits guys.I'm going to leave these to the newbies.I know how much the first one help me decide what to use.

[fixed point]

Thanks for all your work! I put in my order.

[mhdagley]

Woohoo I ordered mine!!
What is the time frame on the shipping?

[hoselayer]

Way to go guys. Your hard work and dedication to this site are incredible.

[bjrn]

Thanks so much for this guys, I'll be having one of these as soon as my next cheque clears!

They're US-only.

[R-James]

I have a way round this, my friend over in Iowa. He buys it, I paypal him the cash +UK shipping. I get myself a sampler.. unless of course I have cologne shipping issues which may be a problem

Cheers,

[bjrn]

Well, you could always ask him order the kit and take out anything with alcohol in it. :)

[R-James]

That is very true, although I really like the look of the penhaligons. I'm going to be over there in July but I just can't wait that long to pick it up from him!

Does the UK also have a problem with shipping AS with alcohol in it? I am curious about this? Do most European countries have this restriction?


Richard

[bjrn]

A few do. I think the UK is one of the countries that does mind, along with Portugal and Greece, or something like that. The Dutch postal service doesn't mind.

[EricBNYC]

I just ordered mine. Feel free to ship immediately :)

[Hoos]

I can't speak for the owners/mods, only from my experience.

I ordered mine on February 21 and am hoping it arrives on/before 2/28.

The shipping info on checkout wasn't too clear, but I assumed something like UPS ground. Which can often mean up to seven calendar days or more.

Of course, there are a huge number of other factors which may affect this, many of them unknown to me.

I am really thankfull for all the hardwork the B&B team did, and I'll be really happy when it arrives. But I'm a patient sort. Most of the time. Maybe. . . .

We had to order some more boxes which should be in tomorrow (U-Line is pretty quick), and with any luck, we should get these shipped out (via Fed-Ex Ground) on Friday.

[EricBNYC]

Did these ship, I wonder?

[Nick]

Did these ship, I wonder?

Eric,

These went out yesterday morning, and should arrive between 5 to 7 business days (sooner depending on your proximity to San Francisco).

We still have a handful of Kit #3 available. In it, we ran out of some of the Speick Shower Gel samples, so if your kit doesn't include one, you should have received an extra pack of Derby Blades. Also, we totally forgot to mention that almost every kit (we were a few short) will also receive several samples of Pacific Shave Company All natural Shaving Oil. Lastly, my sister, who was visiting from college (read: cheap labor), and who did much of the grunt work wants you all to know that these kits were "packaged with love".

Nick,

This is great news. It is completely legal to ship alcohol-based products from the US to Canada via Fed-Ex Ground. (Prior to this, I thought we were stuck with illegal shipping via USPS, or nothing.)

Perhaps the cost might be a little bit more, but I (and perhaps others) are likely willing to pay it.

Please advise.

[riooso]

This would be good news for our friends up north!
