Return process
April 6, 2025

My experience with Blade HQ has always been flawless for my past orders on receiving all my orders in a timely manner, unfortunately I had to return the Flytanium Beef as I personally didn't like the action, crossbar lock studs were too sharp and the spring action of the crossbar locks were too stiff, not as buttery as the bench made bugout or Keyshawn iridium. I reached out to BHQ and they handled my return with no issues and submitted my refund easily back to my card. Cloey E has been exceptional with customer service, I'll definitely be taking my return and put it back into their business with another order soon. Thanks BHQ!

Great customer service
April 6, 2025

My recent customer service experience with BladeHQ was smooth and professional. I reached out regarding a lost package that had been stuck in transit for several days. Their response was prompt, and they immediately offered me a choice between a reshipment or a refund, which I appreciated. When I inquired about using an alternative shipping carrier, they politely explained that they couldn't guarantee the carrier selection. While that wasn't ideal, they remained courteous and clear in their communication. Since reshipping with a different carrier wasn't an option, I opted for a refund, which they processed efficiently. Overall, the support team was responsive, polite, and solution-oriented, making the situation easier to deal with.

I had a question about a preorder and got an answer sooner than expected. Although the solution depends entirely on the manufacturer, BHQ (shout out to Hannah!) still took the time to reach out and let me know.

Hey Ivan!
We sincerely apologize for the frustration you've experienced. It looks like your order was canceled due to a payment error, which can sometimes occur during the checkout process. An email was sent regarding the payment issue. We regret any confusion or inconvenience this caused, especially for a special occasion. If you need immediate assistance, we recommend giving us a call, as we can resolve these matters faster over the phone than through email. Please don’t hesitate to reach out, and we’ll be happy to help you place a new order. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Alyssa T deserves props
March 23, 2025

Thank you BHQ for being the best in the business. I tend to stick to companies that offer the better customer service. Not always the cheapest or best or most expensive product. But if things go poorly I would rather be represented with genuine people who care about their product over anything else. I would apply to work here but I live too far away lol. Thanks for the sharp and shinies.

Verifying Military Status
April 6, 2025

I had a great experience with bladehq overall. This is the first time I've ever been told without asking about a military discount. The process of verifying my status was made super easy, Hannah Y. Explained the process and explained the different discounts offered by specific brands perfectly. Thank y'all for making the process super easy even while overseas!

Recieved an order and one of the items was found to be missing an "extra accessory". Hannah Y. Replied back swiftly. She was able to verify the missing item with no problems. She gave me several options to resolve the issue, all great options. Hannah was able to issue me a credit for the value of the missing item. The missing item is available independently and is only an extra accessory so was able to still get that coming (as well as some extra goodies😉). Highly satisfied with my experience with Hannah Y. And everyone else over at BladeHQ!

Hey Allen!
We totally get how frustrating it can be waiting on a pre-order, especially when there’s no solid ETA. Unfortunately, most of the time, manufacturers don’t provide us with exact timelines, but we’ll always share any updates as soon as we get them. In the meantime, you can check our website or social media for the latest info. We appreciate your patience—you’re the real MVP for sticking with us!
