Quick and Friendly
January 3, 2024

Quick and friendly answer to my question.

It's a bit weird to have to email to get pricing for something listed below MAP, though. Generally, revealing the price in the cart gets around that. Just assuming that's the case though.

Thanks again!

Lack of Concern
January 10, 2024

Absolutely no communication from Blade HQ until I became very plain and direct. Over a week, in stock, and not shipped with no comms. Just a word about the order I think would be in order. If they truly cared, they sold me a product they would have responded preemptively. If I was behind, which I think may have been the case, who knows. I would have all Management packing orders. This is the third order in the last 3 weeks this has happened. I usually let things go...

Outstanding customer service
December 28, 2023

I was not thrilled with a product I purchased. I have an unconventional work schedule so it took me a bit to reach out to customer service. They got back to me promptly with a label and the product is on it's way back for a refund. Top notch customer care.

Website stated that I would receive before Christmas. Product was not even dropped off to carrier post dated a week after purchase. That being two days before Christmas, I did not receive on time.

No help
January 4, 2024

I placed an order, made a mistake and left out the mailbox number, that's on me, I get it. I emailed them less than 5 minutes after placing the order asking to either cancel the order or to add the mailbox number. No response to my email, instead they shipped my order and when I called them to try and fix it they told me there was nothing they could do. I called fedex who said the shipper needed to add anything for the address change. I called blade hq again and offered to call FedEx and all they would need to do was stay on the phone and tell them to add a mailbox number. They refused.

Suspended account
January 4, 2024

Firstly, I still don't understand the essence of the issue with account suspension. Secondly, I was not even informed about the suspension of my account, which turned out to be an unpleasant surprise for me, since I intended to place an order during the Christmas sale. Yes, by now the issue has been resolved, but I have already lost the desire to place an order.

Poor excuse for failure to ship
January 4, 2024

A knife was ordered 12/19 and today I was told there was a 24-48 hour processing time, Wednesday and Thursday would have been that 48 hours which in an organized world the product could have made the shipping run Thursday or Friday morning. And there was an OH WELL moment, basically the Consumer is to subliminally know that if you opt for express shipping that they should know to call and ensure someone is able and capable to complete the order AS THERE IS NOTHING ON THE WEBSITE THAT THE ORDER WILL NOT MAKE IT BECAUSE WE FAILED AS ONE TEAM. If you are Understaffed then shut ordering down.

Over promising with Express shipping and Failure to deliver is nothing but PURE FAILURE TO THE CONSUMER. This economy is killing small businesses everywhere, do better, be the company that deserves business not the one shutting down because it's incompetent.
