Shipping your chains for sharpening
We have been getting quite a run on having chains
sharpened. As we have experienced some problems
getting them sent correctly, please read the following:
If time is
of the essence, you can send chains by Express
overnight or 2nd day, but it is a fairly costly
affair. Otherwise do count on a 2 week turn-around
time at the maximum.
For our American customers, the cheapest route
is by flat rate mail (Priority Post).
The cost
for sharpening of a mortise chain starts at $25.00
each.
As we have received
deliveries of packages without the chains (the
chains having chewed through the wrapping),
we strongly recommend that you wrap the chains
tightly in sheets of plastic or heavy paper
material. If only one chain is sent, you could
put some cardboard around it. Fit it into
a matching size of flat-rate box from the US post
office, making sure to stuff the box, such that
the chain cannot flap around loosely inside the
box, as it will eventually chew through it.
Tape all around it once from
side to side and across. Send by priority mail
with delivery receipt and at least $100 insurance.
That way you can track it, and it never seems to
get lost.
For our American customers, mail to:

For our Canadian customers, mail
to:

Use
our chain sharpening service to
keep the proper pitch and correct angle for the maximum
life of the edge.
