Last week I placed my first order with LV (other than the Bessey one).
Ordered PM last Thursday, just had it delivered into my hands. :)
It's been said before, but that really is exceptional service IMO.
Well done LV :) :)

I opted for Xpress post 'cause I'm impatient :)
You know you can't sharpen skew chisels in that guide, don't you? ;)
So what are you going to put in the leather chisel roll, huh? Leather chisels?? Don't tell me you're getting some of those exorbitantly expensive and flashy LN chisels?
Yeah, I've got the mark I for them :rolleyes: ;)Quote:

Wongo, buy a set of yellow Stanleys and put them in the LN box. Keep the LNs for yourself, Craig wont notice :D

yep, can't beat Lee Valleys service, that why we go back for more :)
Nope. :(Quote:

Nothing wrong with that I guess but I didn't know they made tools there.
Actually given the price (around $25 for a pair) I'm not surprised. ;)
They look o.k. though. I'll have to see how they perform.
When I was using my new LV LA block the other day, I noticed that the screw for adjusting side to side play was imperfect, the slot was only partially formed. I emailed Lee Valley who replied promptly and are sending a set of new screws by express post.
Once again excellent service and they will have my business again.

LOL.......imagine the grief as you watch the big burly airport security guy whisking away your brand new LN chisels.Quote:

Ordered various bits & pieces to a value of $330 Oz including Xpress freight last Thursday evening Melbourne time. Door bell rang at around 3:30 pm today Tuesday and there were my goodies! (No customs charges or interference as far as I could tell). Be lucky to get a parcel from Sydney that quick with Aussie post!.
I certainly will be ordering more stuff from them as required!!
Well Done Lee Valley!
