Bad timing
December 14, 2023

My review is based on a question I sent them if they were getting in a specific knife that is impossible to find because they sell out in minutes. They did respond two days later and ironically right after the knife I was asking about came in and sold out. I have purchased here before never an issue with anything I purchased. Honestly at the point I got a response I would have preferred not to get a response at all.

Awesome Job
December 14, 2023

Never called your business before, on hold a little longer than I wanted but I was patient. Then I got this lady "Jen" who was the nicest person I think I've ever talked too. Very helpful, your business needs many more like her. I hung up phone with a smike on my face thanks to her. Great job.

Answered by a bot
December 21, 2023

I attempted to buy some knives from BladeHQ, and during the checkout process was informed that one particular knife could not be shipped to my country. There seemed to be no apparent reason for this, as the knife is perfectly legal in my country, and there do not seem to be any trade restrictions or other reasons, according to my research.
I put the question to BladeHQ customer service, and a day or two later received a response that was either copied straight from a script, or was entirely handled by a Bot. It essentially explained back to me what I had already stated in my email, giving no further explanation or opportunity for interaction. My case was enclosed, and I was asked to provide feedback - so here I am.
I consider all this quite poor customer service. I have given a two star rating; one in respect of my previous good experiences with BladeHQ, and one for actually answering the email in a timely manner.
I hope this helps you to improve.

"Was" Concerned.
December 13, 2023

I made an order on a knife and was getting concerned when I didn't receive any emails about the item being shipped out. Little did I know that the item was a brand new product that didn't drop yet. This was all explained in a email from Customer Service Tech Mr. Dallas M. This man explained it all in detail and was prompt to answer my email. Very helpful and thank you Mr. Dallas

Suspended Account Process
December 20, 2023

Very disappointing, actually worse than that. I tried 4 times to change my credit card while making an order, because the previous one on file was either closed by me (consolidating cards) or it had expired. Regardless, my Blade account was suspended. I am sending my Military ID as requested in this email string. I have purchased many knives from you over the years, BTW I have an 800 + credit score and I am a 30 year army veteran. I serve and pay my bills. It would seem I am an ideal customer, apparently not. Your lack of customer service is quite telling especially with regards to how you respond to suspend accounts. I spent hours try to order several knives to no avail.

Quick response
December 12, 2023

I had put in an order for a single knife which totaled less than $100. As is the case, shipping is not free.
2 hours later I received their noontime E Mail stating that all shipping was free, regardless of order total.
I sent a message asking them to forgo the shipping, and Brooke got back to me promptly and refunded the $5 shipping.
Blade Hq has always been very fair and square to deal with, and I've bought a fair amount of knives from them.
