About a week ago, I enquired if any of my fellow woodworkers had experience
with ordering online from Librawood. There were a couple of responses, but
none of direct dealings.
This past Wednesday, I decided to chance placing an order with them for some
Whiteside router bits. Their pricing was a little under any of the other
sites that I checked for identical part numbers. I received an immediate
robot confirmation that the order had been received, and another later in
the day that it had been processed. My order was sent out the following
day, and they sent a USPS tracking number. It was received in my mailbox
yesterday in a Priority Mail envelope. Since my order was over $100, they
picked up the shipping costs. Sometimes, it pays to take a chance when it
turns out happily.

And, more than that really, it continues to foster competition among retailers,
which is a good thing for customers. Having a quick and reliable source for
items is nice. Having several quick and reliable sources for those same items
is even nicer.

And thanks for posting the positive news. Now *I'll* check them out next
time I need some Whitesides.
