Posting items to Northwest Sharpeners Ltd
Sending your items for sharpening couldn’t be easier. It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3.
- Safely secure your items. Either wrap them in paper or tissue, or tape to card and put in a bubble padded envelope (Jiffy type) Please do not place items in boxes or pouches as it adds to the postage costs.
- Enclose a note with your name, phone number and order number (found on your online order form).
- Then write the address: Anglia Clipper Services. Unit 7 Patches Yard. Glemsford. Sudbury. Suffolk CO10 7PZ
If you prefer a more secure service, please choose your own postal options.
What happens when we receive your items for sharpening?
On receipt of the bags from the post office the individual packages are opened, items are checked for damage.
Items are married up with the order form, the items are then moved from the inward post area to the sharpening area.
We are able to sharpen some clipper blades with missing teeth provided there are no more than 2 missing teeth together, please consider the finish of the clip if several teeth are missing.
Scissors and clipper blades are then sharpened using the most appropriate method for the individual item. We have a multitude of stones, belts, discs and machinery for the tasks. Oil is applied where required.
Scissors are serviced and checked for sharpness and any small parts are replaced free of charge where required. A5 type clipper blades will have blade rail guards and screws renewed free of charge if required. Tension is checked and adjusted accordingly. Clipper blades are tested on fake fur to ensure sharpness.
When the item has been sharpened and tested (where appropriate), it is then passed to the packaging area. Dependent on the item, some are placed in bags, others will be safely wrapped in paper to avoid damage during return transit. Items are returned in bubble lined envelopes or boxes for added protection.
Items are sharpened the day we receive them and are back in the post the same day where possible. In general we use the Royal Mail service.
