How to Pack

Supplies: Sturdy corrugated box (no envelopes), bubble wrap/foam, small bands/sleeves, packing tape, your printed Packing List.

Do

  • Use a sturdy box with appropriate padding on all sides

  • Clean & dry visible hair/debris (we return items cleaned, oiled, and ready)

  • Shears: close and band/sleeve; wrap each pair separately

  • Blades: use guards if available; wrap each set separately

  • Machines: remove loose accessories; wrap body snugly; extra padding at switches/ports (contact us first)

  • Put your Packing List on top, then seal; ship with tracking and keep the number

Don't

  • Don’t use paper envelopes or thin poly mailers

  • Don’t let items rattle — if you hear movement, add padding

What’s Included in Service

  • Shears: Professional sharpening on industry equipment, hand-finished; returned cleaned and test-cut

  • A5 blades: Precision machine-sharpened (not manual stone grinding) for consistent, reliable results; then cleaned, aligned, and tension-set with the blade behind the comb; demagnetized, oiled, reassembled, and test-run

  • Wahl 5-in-1 (standard): Sharpening and setup for smooth performance

  • Adjustments: If anything doesn’t feel right, please notify us within 72 hours so we can correct it

Pro tip: If blades aren’t cutting right, a worn Blade Drive is often the cause — not the blade.
Maintenance: Replace the Blade Drive at least monthly or about every 100 pets (usage varies).
