Very Happy with Mike's. Ordered a vest and some bells on Tuesday and they got here on Friday with the regular shipping. He must have shipped them the same day I ordered them. The Vest is specially made for Mike's and seems to be of very high quality.
Two thumbs up.

I have not (yet) ordered from mike's, but I called to find out some info on a book that is awaiting its next printing, he was VERY helpful, VERY smart and VERY well read. I get the impression that he has read and owns a personal copy of the books he sells and remembers them very very well. (did I say VERY?) He was super nice and I will totally do business with him in the near future. I definitely would recommend this guy...he's "good people", as they say!
i also HIGHLY recommend Mike's Falconry Supplies. I get all my equipment and books from here, i know i can rely on them and they prove me right time and time again. the guy probably knows my address by heart. haha

I have recently bought from all 3 suppliers mentioned here. I have gone back to Mike 3 more times since that first purchase. Most of the time I order online but I also talked to Mike on the phone last week. He was very helpful and generous with his time and also advised me of some products coming out in the near future based upon my questions...and I will be getting those too. Mike is great with very fast shipping to Alaska...3-4 days tops.

Top notch Customer support, I have ordered hundreds of dollars of equipment from them, and I have rarely ever been dissapointed. Just recieved my new hawking vest from them, and I REALLY like it.
I'm impressed with Mike's customer service...super fast shipping with e-mailed order status updates. Granted, I'm new to falconry and have only placed two orders (both with Mike's) ever, but I have no reason to use anybody else.
Yes, they do send promptly. The quality of goods: the stitching of the falconry bag I bought fell apart after a month:( I was also sent a broken scale and they refused to believe it when I contacted them. Got a scale in working order after a bloody month.
It's probably just my experience, but the raving reviews on this blog make me somewhat suspicious.

Suspicious of what? I have never had an issue with Mike's, and I've ordered from him a lot. The only "issue" I've had, is when I ordered braided dacron jesses, he sent jess extenders instead. When I called, he said he'd put the jesses in the mail right away, and if I could just send the extenders back. He was very helpful, and has helped me out in a tight spot, when I needed a new receiver antenna... I got it the next day. I've always been happy with Mike.

Just got some books from Mike's. Very quick shipping! Also noticed that he seems to have the cheapest shipping costs regarding the order I made and the next one I have planned! Also was very knowledgeable and accommodating on the phone! I will order from him again!
