We asked the sales department at sawblade.com about the advantages of Same Day Shipping and why it is critical to Guidekits.com customers.
Why Same Day?
Same Day Shipping can present some logistical hurdles. That is why not all industrial band saw suppliers offer it. As it is, many other suppliers take up to five days deliver their products. One of the Salesmen explained that since many employees at Sawblade.com have experience in machining and production, they understand the impact a five-day delay can have on a shop, especially if margins get very thin. As long as you order before 3 PM, then will Ship your blades the same day. If you place an order after 3 PM then your order will be processed first thing in the morning and out the next business day.
No Extra Fees
There are no hidden fees for Sawblade.com’s Same Day Shipping, Only their standard shipping fee applies. Other suppliers may charge extra for quicker delivery. Amazon Prime, for example, requires a membership to get free two-day shipping and even more money on top of that if you need your package the next day.
