Bench work, then back to you
We complete the agreed work and arrange the return shipment. Allow transit time in addition to shop time.
Where do I send the package?
After confirming the work with us, send it to The Sharpening Dude, 6455 Holyoke Drive, Annandale, VA 22003. Include your name and contact information inside the package.
Can I send only removable steel?
Yes. Tell us the skate model and steel size, and confirm the service first. Secure the steel so it cannot cut through the packaging or move around.
How much is shipping?
Shipping depends on the package and arrangements for your order. Confirm both directions and the total with us before sending anything.
Can you meet a game or travel deadline?
Tell us the date before shipping. Workload, parts and carrier transit affect timing. Do not rely on the typical shop turnaround as a delivery guarantee.
Does this timing apply to new Bladetech orders?
New steel orders depend on the selected blades, stock and any add-ons. Confirm the timing for your exact order separately.
