Buying blades from Mike

[northie66]

I was going to try Mike's site for blades... but he doesn't offer Paypal.

What's my alternative options?

[towdude3]

don't know what credit card options are for you but i have talked to Mike a few times and I felt very comfortable giving my credit card to him. I would and will do it again. He has sent me sample blades twice and has answered my questions. Mike

I guess I just don't feel comfortable putting my cc number in on his site.  I mean is a small business site just as secure as a big business?

Mike runs his transactions through a "Secure Server" so I have no problem with the credit card number. If you have a FAX program you can print out his order form and FAX the order to him.
Best service and lowest shipping you can find!

Janet, I have ordered from Mikes site and have had no problems. Hundreds of people order from him also, and I wouldn't hesitate to order from his site again!

If it is a safe site you have nothing to worry about, why don't you ring him

Or do it the old fashioned way and give him a phone call, he'll take your card over the phone. BTW he's a great guy to deal with. I have ordered both ways with no problems.

You can print the order form and mail a check with the order. It would take a few days but you would feel better.

Mike uses a secure server which is safer than phone or mail. Only problems I have had have been with large companies.
I use Mike with no problems.

i too have used mikes site to order his blades, i had no probs and feel safe using it. i always look for the yellow padlock before i order on websites,  which means it is a secure site.

Hi Janet,

The reason I don't take PayPal is that it cost me double what other credit card companies charge me. I belong to the SD Retail  Ass. and they have a contract with 3 CC companies. PayPal  is not one of them.
Like others have posted I pay a company for the secure site. All postings are scambled till it get to me.
If you want to use email, never send all the numbers in one, send at least 3 emails with 3 different parts of the Ccard.

I wand to thank all the people who posted for giving me a very positive responds.

I want everyone to know this had nothing to do with trusting Mike. It's the thieves on the Internet I have a problem with. And since I don't use credit cards (debit only) if extra charges got racked up it would be a huge problem for me.

I didn't read all the posts yet but I read Mikes and if he says it's secure I'll go for it.

Another way to see if a webpage is secure is to look at the address bar. A secure page will read https://
