I have dealt with Pops Knife Supply for many many years. I have always found them to be extremely honest.
Today I received a package from them. When I ordered, the postage calculator said the postage would be $42.77. Today when I got the package they had changed the $42.77 to the actual cost of postage, $8.15. As I said, they are extremely honest. They charge the exact postage.
 
Their calculator is wacked. I always ask for the correct postage before going forward. They probably weren’t paying attention to the quote.
 
Blame the e-store software. I've had the same problem on my store. It figures out the individual shipping fine, but when the cart is put together it is wonky. I've issued several shipping refunds because of it.
 
They sent me an email next morning from my last web order saying I had been charged too much shipping as there was a cheaper option and adjusted my charge.
 
I like Pops, I get most of my belts from them. Their shipping software is a little off. I've even seen one where the shipping was going to be thousands of dollars. But I knew it was a fluke of the software so I placed the order anyways without concern. They always adjust the price correctly when they ship, nothing to worry about.
 
Hope I’m not hijacking the thread, but has anyone tried their economy belts? Curious to see how they are.
 
James and his wife are good people. I've set up next to them at several shows, we bought each others stuff.
 
Yep, I just always choose the "cheapest possibe" option.
R ren01228 the Hermes ceramics are decent, but they all seem to have a bit of wobble to them.

Yep, I really like their economy belts - while they may not last as long, they make up for it in lower cost.

I've ordered from Pop's for a good while - never pay much attention to the calculated shipping cost knowing they're going to charge a good bit lower anyway. Good folks.

I tried the economy J flex belts. Lots of belt bump so I only use them on handles but for a 1.50 that's fine.
 
cant go wrong with POPS I have been buying for 7 years from them. Good prices on belts!!
 
If anyone reading this thread is still unsure about Pop's, I'll add a 2 thumbs up as well!
 
i have had the same experience. shipping was lowered from what i had paid. that speaks volumes about them. i get all my belts and buffing supplies through them.
 
Yes, that is why the site says "Your order will be charged the actual shipping cost charged by the carrier."
 
If there is a less expensive way to ship they will email and ask even if it means making free cuts in steel barstock. There are a lot of great people in this industry but I feel like they still go above and beyond. Its service like that that would entice you to pay more for and it comes from the shop with the best prices. I know I don't buy as much as others but they have my loyalty as the first place I look for any item not just belts.
