Fast and easy
October 17, 2025

I wrote an email to cancel the magpul breslau I preordered because I was frustrated that magpul hasn't been transparent about production delays or estimated ship dates. No problem on BHQ's end. Ms.Dallas canceled my order and sent me a confirmation email in minutes. Thank you

Jen was amazing at helping me out with my order mishap. She was empathetic and understanding. I never reach out to customer service but I had to and the service provided was second to none. This is why I'm a returning customer. Life happens and the people who understand that make it a little less hectic. Money is tight for everyone these days and it's companies like this that survive because of its outstanding products and customer service. Thank you again.

Slow shipping

On their website it says orders placed before 1pm mountain standard time will ship out same business day. I paid $50 for this option and my package was not packaged for shipment same day.

Above and beyond Customer service
October 11, 2025

I recently reached out to Blade HQ regarding one of their promotions. At first, my code didn't seem to go through, so I sent a message to check on it. It turned out I had missed the promotion by just a day, but to my surprise, the rep went above and beyond. Instead of turning me away, he honored the promotion and applied it to my order anyway. That, to me, is true customer service. I run my own contract processing company, and I pride myself on delivering exceptional service to others—so experiencing the same from another business is truly refreshing. Huge thanks to Chad P. And the Blade HQ team for setting the standard with such amazing service. Keep up the great work—you've definitely earned a loyal customer!

Wow! This review just made our whole week! 🎉 Chad and the team will be thrilled to hear they’ve earned such high praise (and maybe even bragging rights in the breakroom). We know how much exceptional service matters, especially coming from someone who provides it every day, so your words mean a lot. Thanks for letting us prove that “above and beyond” isn’t just a saying here; it’s the standard. We’re honored to have you as a loyal customer! 🙌🔪

Go somewhere else
October 7, 2025

Always get damaged knives. Wasn't offered anything for inconvenience or to make the situation right. Now I have to go purchase a mailer or box, and go somewhere to print this label on my own time. I only get one day off a week & have to go get this situated if I want my money back anytime soon. Still have to wait for processing time. Spent money here just to have to wait forever to get it back.

Hey Matt!
Ah, the joys of returns — we get it, they’re a pain… kind of 😏. Normally, we wait until the package is back in our hands before issuing a refund, but since the last time you were refunded without returning the item, we thought we’d make another exception!
This time, your current return package is on its way back, and we’ve gone ahead and issued a refund plus a small extra credit as another courtesy. We also noticed you’ve already put your refund and credit toward a new purchase! Thanks for giving us another shot! Here’s hoping your next blade arrives in perfect shape, and any future “return adventures” stay firmly in the realm of myth. 🔪✨

Blade HQ has some of the most exciting selections, beautiful photos showing you exactly what your getting (not a stock photo) something I can really appreciate. The prices are "Amazingly Fair" many times much lower than the manufacture. One time I returned an item and BHQ were quick to respond and a refunded was issued, absolutely No problem, an easy transaction again "what an Amazing Company"
"I will be coming back" because Blade HQ has my son & I confidence. I also Love my "Hawk Deadlock-C"

Quick response

I made a small mistake on ordering my items and forgot to add my coupon code since I was too excited for the items. Contacted customer service and they were able to cancel my order and told me to repurchase the items again with the code. They didn't require to do a follow up email on my new order, but they did which was nice.
