Just out of curiousity - how long do they generally take to deliver?
Thanks. |

From personal experience, it always takes a long time but I'm in Canada
so I never know if it's them or customs. They always have come through eventually though and if you send an email asking about your order, they usually answer quite quickly. HTH, Jeanine in Canada lewmew wrote: Just out of curiousity - how long do they generally take to deliver? Thanks. |

I often receive orders in 3-4 days (NE Ohio--it was even faster when I lived in central Iowa) if the items are in stock. They are very good about communicating with customers if an item is backordered and give reliable estimates for the delivery of those items. If you are deparately in need of something, call and ask if it is in stock before placing your order. The only problems I've had are they don't send out a catalog with gift certificates and gift certificates cannot be redeemed online. -- Brenda Tickler of Chuzzles |

I ordered something I needed for a deadline (because I'd heard wonderful things about them) and not only did they not have it, they couldn't get it, and they didn't bother to tell me about it until I called 4 weeks later. My recent experience was a tad better, but I only used them again because they had something no one else did. I avoid them if I can. I like 1-2-3 Stitch. -- Elizabeth aka LizardGumbo Pop the bubbles to reply. www.effervescentdesigns.com |

I, too, have had very slow service from Nordic Needle. If I need something odd or very quickly, I call Denise at Threadneedle Street in Washington state. She's really great and very fast.

Answering my own question: I ordered last Monday and got it today - eight days. OK service - in these days of ebay and lightning fast service from most places, I would give it a 5 on a scale of 1 to 10. |

Disclaimer: I am NOT condoning rape, it's a joke people. So's this one..... There were these two nuns. One was known as Sister Mathematica and the other as Sister Logica. It was getting dark, and they were still far off from the convent. Sister Mathematica: Have you noticed that a man has been following us for the past thirty-eight and a half minutes? I wonder what he wants. Sister Logica: It’s logical. He wants to rape us. SM: Oh, no! At this rate he will reach us in 15 minutes at the most. What can we do? SL: The only logical thing to do of course is to walk faster. SM: It’s not working SL: Of course it’s not working. The man did the only logical thing. He started to walk faster too. SM: So, what shall we do? At this rate he will reach us in one minute. SL: The only logical thing we can do is split. You go that way and I’ll go this way. He cannot follow us both. So the man decided to follow Sister Logica. Sister Mathematica arrives at the convent and is worried about what has happened to Sister Logica. Then Sister Logica arrives. SM: Sister Logica! Thank God you are here! Tell me what happened! SL: The only logical thing happened. The man couldn’t follow us both, so he followed me. SM: Yes, yes! But what happened then? SL: The only logical thing happened. I started to run as fast as I could and he started to run as fast as he could. SM: And? SL: The only logical thing happened. He reached me. SM: What did you do? SL: The only logical thing to do. I lifted my dress up. SM: Oh, Sister! What did the man do? SL: The only logical thing to do. He pulled down his pants. SM: Oh, no! What happened then? SL: Isn’t it logical, Sister? A nun with her dress up can run faster than a man with his pants down… And for those of you who thought it would be dirty, pray for forgiveness. -- Karen C - California Finished 7/4/06 - needlepoint calendar canvas for August WIP: Getting all the UFOs done, July birthstone, Flowers of Hawaii (Jeanette Crews) for ME!!!, Farmers Market (TIAG#8) Retrieved from UFO pile: Marbek's Snow Angel LTR: Fireman's Prayer (#2), Amid Amish Life, Angel of Autumn, Calif Sampler, Holiday Snowglobe www.CFSfacts.org where we give you the facts and dispel the myths Myths, with research cites: http://www.aacfs.org/images/pdfs/myths.pdf See my designs exclusively at www.TyWolfeDesigns.com Editor/Proofreader http://hometown.aol.com/kmc528/KMC.html |

I didn't hear about that. Is she giving up or downsizing the business or just selling off excess supplies? Mavia No, she's doing what she always did. Her lessons are only in the winter though. She still has a full line of Appletons and many new Elsa Williams crewel and needlepoint kits. She also carries the Elsa Williams crewel wools as well but they don't have the range of shades the Appletons do, which is what I wanted. She also has good linen, though I have found Copelands just as nice for embroidery linen and cheaper. She seems to have adjusted okay. I kind of think one of the grandsons is actually living there with her, which may or may not be, a good thing. She apparently reads her emails when he opens it up for her, I was dying to tell her she could so easily do it herself but she is convinced you need to be a rocket scientist to use a computer! Her yard sale was more on the buttons, zippers and sewing items, those she is clearing away. I am sure if you wanted any, she would be more than glad to sell to you. That probably would be left over stock from when they had the shop with sewing materials etc. Glad to hear she's doing well. You really need to convince her to get a handle on using her computer. There are lots of basic courses at the libraries that would be helpful. Mavia |
