My wife's birthday was coming up and we had been agonising over the right sewing shears for her to upgrade to, I jumped on Google and did a search for sewing scissors near me, amongst all the small time retailers I discovered Bladeology. Not only did they have a mature website and shop, but they stocked an apparently complete range of Kai scissors. However they are all the way across the country in WA and I am not in a major metro and there is only 4 business days to my wife's birthday.
The commitment Bladeology makes is to use the best possible shipping, so fingers are crossed and the order is placed. Flash forward to 5 days later and sitting around the table I watch my wife unwrap her new shears and excitedly grab her bag of fabric scraps to test her new precious.
Birthday saved, husband appreciated and Bladeology secured as our destination for all our new scissors going forward.
Oh and since the scissors went from postage pouch directly to wrapped my wife got to enjoy unwrapping the multiple layers of wrapping provided by Bladeology to reveal her pristine new toy.
