Delong Brush Source

There has been much talk of these brushes...this website sells them for $2.50 and $2.50 for shipping. I just ordered three (shipping was still $2.50). If these are the same large size as the ones that were reviewed and formerly available on eBay, this would be probably the most freakingly awsome brush deal ever identified.

This would be a incredible deal. I tried to import from DeLong directly and the Federal Fish and Game Service seized my sample.

It states that I was in violation of the endangered species act. I'm sending them a copy of the catalog listing.

Our tax dollars at work.

I've been looking at importing from them for my site, and it looks like It would require a special permit to import badger hair... Still doing research, but until I can wade through the red tape, and know My order will arrive, no can do...

They are good quality brushes, it's a shame our government is so picky.

You gotta be quick on the trigger when a deal pops up. I'll let you know how it works out.

It was quite a shock when I got the call from UPS about the seizure. Then a real eye opener when I got the first letter. Then the second letter started me fuming. Get this, the USF&WS puts a value of $65.00 on the brush. I guess it is like the Air Forces $400.00 hammer. I just wonder if it is because the brush is from China? It's not like we are trying to import raw material or untreated hides. Oh well, our tax dollars at work.

Need to get The Big Spender in this thread to see if there is any course of action for you to take. Seems like they need to show you exactly which regulation you broke and how in a timely manner or they have violated you rights to property, at the very least they need to adjust the value based upon the price paid, as I assume you have a receipt.

And people wonder why I'm a Libertarian

If you want a laugh do a search and see how Rolexes are handled. He told us once.

Customs protecting us from shaving brushes and watch bargains but letting the terrorists right through, there heads are so far up their @$$es the only daylight they see is through their digestive tract.

Unfortunatley they just called me and said I'm not getting mine...they were out of stock the whole time...he said they had a "strange" rush on shaving brushes in the last day, with one guy ordering 10...Hmmmmm...I however did leave my order on backorder...

I received a similar phone call. Since they are backordering them, we will get the same post price. I'd hate to see the brush go from $2.50 to $25.00.

tjiscooler · 05-23-2008, 05:13 AM

thats too bad. Im still waiting for mine to arrive...its been a long time...

the one i bought was white and had no label...are they the same? Is the hair the same quality, does anyone know?

Genco_Glider · 05-23-2008, 03:28 PM

I don't know because they didn't even have any to go look at and answer quetions about...

geoffreyt · 05-29-2008, 12:30 PM

I just ordered two, delivered for $7.93. How can you beat that? Hope it works out.

Strapped-4-Cache · 05-29-2008, 01:08 PM

I just placed an order as well. Hopefully they won't be back ordered or have any problems with my order.

Update: Woo Hoo! Just got my order confirmed by phone!

murchmb · 05-29-2008, 05:22 PM

This is a boar brush. The picture is correct, but the description is wrong. See this thread at B&B. I'm surprised the vendor has not fixed the web page. They are either dishonest, lazy, or clueless about the products they are selling.

fcohio · 05-29-2008, 05:40 PM

+1, I have one also, definitely a boar brush.
