Betterbee

As far as I can tell the new owners are nothing but awesome and are probably the salt of the earth. However, because of the previous owners I moved on and have established excellent relationships with the companies I deal with now. I have nothing against the present owners. They are just new owners of a company that I don't buy from anymore.

Well said.

I have been nothing but impressed with the new ownership at betterbee. I am a regular customer in person and via the web. When I need something yesterday I can just call and verify inventory and pick it up. They are only a 2 hours drive from me. When I have sometime before I need things I give them a call and its shipped FedEx and I usually get it in 2-3 days.

I love Mann Lake but sometimes it takes them 10 days befoire I recieve my order. Also, Mann Lakes HUGE price increase on wax foundation really bothers me. Its seems like they keep going higher and high. I can get 25lb bulk foundation shipped to me cheaper than Mann Lakes cost with free shipping.

I make most of my equipment but I buy frames and foundation and the odd "new' item or two.

I am finding myself ordering from Betterbee more and more. They are friendly and polite. They have patients to answer all the newbies questions and deal with a sideliner like me who just want products at a good price and someone to say thank you!
