Quick response to my inquiry
August 3, 2024

I had emailed a question to customer support regarding a specific knife that I was looking at. I happened to talk to a friend of mine who had actually saw the same knife on another competitor's website that was advertised for a lower price. I sent my concern and within a couple of days I had a response from Hannah. I explained the situation and the link to what I was referring to and within a day, I had a reply and what she could do to help in this case. I was really appreciative of not only the speed to my question, but also what she could do to help me in this matter. So overall, like in my response to Bladehq's customer service review, hands down, I am pleased, I have been a customer off and on for quite some time purchasing my cutlery from Blade hq and will continue unless given a reason not to. Keep up the good work everyone, I am sure you are all aware of what keeps customers content.

Great customer service
August 3, 2024

I recently ordered from blade HQ. Before my order shipped I had to cancel a portion of it. I emailed customer service and within a very short amount of time they canceled that portion of my order and refunded my payment for the item that was canceled. No hassles whatsoever. Very polite. I have always had good experiences ordering from blade HQ

I ordered a knife from this store for $746.99.

They sent an invoice without their company details with a legal address. When I asked them to provide a full invoice, they wrote to me that they suspected me of fraud and asked for additional information about me, and then canceled the order, although I provided all the details.

This is an unfounded accusation of fraud and denial of consumer service. I will file a complaint against them with a consumer protection organization

Hello Maksim,
Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and frustration this situation has caused you.
We are deeply sorry to hear about your experience with your recent order. It is never our intention to cause any discomfort or suspicion towards our valued customers.
Regarding the cancellation of your order and the accusation of fraud, we take such allegations very seriously. Our internal processes are designed to protect both our customers and our business from potential risks, and your order was not approved by our third-party fraud team and could not be processed. Your refund was issued immediately once the order was canceled, and I have sent your invoice and refund information by email.

Customer service is not on par
August 1, 2024

As a customer living in Norway -jupp on the other side of the planet, and for the second time willing to spend more than USD 200 to get an item shipped (last time the Houge Deka Magnacut and this time the Kershaw Bel Air Magnacut) this answer to my my question as to WHY it is not possible to ship the Kershaw is not very satisying:

"Hello,
Unfortunately, if the system does not allow you to place the order, then we are unable to ship that item to your location. I apologize."

This (above) I already knew from trying to place the order... I hoped for some explanation to this problem since that short answer rules out all my potentiel future orders from Blade HQ.

Hi Christian,
We appreciate your feedback and understand your frustration. We apologize for the inconvenience and the lack of a detailed explanation regarding the shipping issue. Unfortunately, certain items have shipping restrictions that are beyond our control. We are constantly working to improve our customer service and your input is invaluable. We have a list of some restricted items that may be helpful here: https://www.bladehq.com/cat--Shipping-Information--146. Unfortunately, Kershaw is a restricted brand.
Thank you for your understanding.

Terrible Experience
July 29, 2024

Not allowed to make purchase, was NOT told why. Like its some sort of secret.
I carry NO DEBT, pay off credits monthly, 813 credit rating.
You folks would not sell to me.
I promise to tell as many people as I can about my experience with your company.
Is this company in California?

Hello Randy,

Please know that this decision is not a reflection of your creditworthiness but rather a precautionary measure taken by our fraud protection system. We are constantly working to improve our processes and appreciate your feedback.
If you would like to try placing your order again, please inform us, and we will notify our fraud protection team to assist in facilitating its approval. However, please note that this does not guarantee approval for the new order.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused and appreciate your understanding. If you have any further questions or need assistance, please don't hesitate to contact us.
