I ask because I'm having trouble finding the shears I need (I was looking for a specific Geib model in straight and curved)--I see them on a few sites, but they're back-ordered. In the past, I have ordered from Cherrybrook, and I've come close to ordering from PetEdge. Neither one has the product I need in stock right now. So, I ordered from Groomer's Choice, a site i have not used before, but they had what I wanted in stock. (I also ordered a smaller pair in a different brand for detail work around eyes, etc.) Groomer's Choice sent me an email confirming that they received the order, so I waited for the stuff to ship. Then, a couple days later, they sent me a request for additional info, including a written credit card authorization and a copy of my driver's license, which they wanted me to send them by email. Apparently, they are a wholesale site. I didn't know that. But they told me they do sell to consumers--fine so far. Still, they want these emailed id's because they said they get people who purchase their products and mark them up to to resell them. I said I have one dog I groom myself, and I explained that I had not been able to find the shears I wanted at other sites I'd used before. I said I'd be happy to somehow prove that I'm me, but I won't email that kind of sensitive information, because email is not secure. They didn't offer an alternative, and said that they were going to go ahead and cancel my order. (If their website explained any of this, I must have missed it when i placed my order.) Annoying, but I guess they have their reasons.
So now i'm back to square one! Still need scissors. Please tell me what sites you've used successfully? Thank you!
