Ok well the first thing I must point out is that I wish you guys would make it possible to give less then 1 star rating if needed cus I did need it or even have it possible to do a negative 5 star because at first I asked about your affiliate program and the emails I got made me feel hopeful that I would be able to join by using Instagram or fb to do it then when I finally got the link to check via Facebook I couldn't figure it out so I emailed you guys asking for guidance but instead got a reply saying that there's no way for me to join but that your sure id do great if I could which was like talking down to me is how It made me feel I can't believe you guys couldn't just tell me this bad news from the get go that's kind of messed up man I just wanted to join your affiliate program so bad so then wy did you say to try using FB I don't understand what the hell that was even about im shocked cus I no your a great place for finding great knives not so great as far as prices go your a lil bit to high honestly but still didn't expect this man god dam it!
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!
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.
Spoke with Jen regarding login information and problems I was having. She escalated to IT and followed up. Very nice and professional. Thank you!
Hey Troy!
Thank you for your review! We're glad Jen could assist you and ensure your issue was addressed promptly. We appreciate your support and look forward to helping you again in the future!

The folks at BladeHQ went above and beyond to accommodate a return that was lost in the mail. They worked with USPS and granted a return without receiving the item. Thank you BladeHQ!
Thank you Jen for your patience in helping me answer my questions regarding my order. I aprecaite the timeliness and the detailed information given to me.
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.
The order was cancelled and no one explained anything. The order was for a birthday. I wrote for two days and no answer
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.

I received e excellent customer service from Alyssa, she was attentive and punctual and took care of business pleasantly. It's the way customer service is supposed to work. Great job, guys!

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.
Hey Anthony!
Short, sweet, and straight to the point—just like a well-executed return! Glad Hannah could help make the process smooth. Hope your next knife is the perfect one. 10/10 review!

I needed assistance in tracking down an order. Wendy was able to help me immediately - she is polite, professional, and has a great sense of humor. Thanks!
Jen made updating my account, quick and easy. She explained the steps necessary to receive a Veterans discount. I appreciate her quick response and great communication. Thank you
Hey Nathan!
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear Jen made updating your account a breeze and helped with the Veterans discount. We truly appreciate your kind words and are always here to provide top-notch service. Thanks again for being part of the Blade HQ family!

Hannah is awesome, she took care of my issue quickly and provided all needed instructions for returning the knife.
I so much appreciate the response from Kim about angle sharpening for my new knife. It was straight forward and easy to determine the sharpening angle. Sincerely,
Robert Harris
Robert, we're so glad Kim could provide the information you needed! A well-sharpened knife makes all the difference, and we’re always happy to help. If you ever have more sharpening questions, don’t hesitate to reach out. Happy sharpening!

I had a question about an order i placed awhile back and Kim reached out and answered my question quickly. I am very pleased with the quick response.
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!
Jen helped me to re-connect me to my old account of 15 years ago so I can get authentic and top-shelf products from a trusted source :) Very happy, thanks Jen!
Looking for info on availability of a knife i have on order,from Italy. There does not appear to be any info on possible delivery. I get but it is still annoying. You have responded to me in a timely manner but you have no info,so that's where it ends.
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!

Answer: Hi. All restrictions are built into our checkout process. If you are able to successfully check out, we will ship it. :) Unfortunately, if you can't checkout, then that means that we will not be able to ship it :(
Answer: Not easy, contacted customer service had no response in 2 business days.
Answer: Hello! Give us a call or an email with your order number and we can check on getting a return initiated for you! Let me know if you have any other questions! :)
Answer: I wouldn't order from them at all. They lied to me about fulfilling an order.
