Good customer service.

Blade HQ has always been a reputable business. I have sent knives back that arrived unsatisfactory and they have always done me right.

I made a mistake in my order, (my fault).
The Customer Service toll the time and went the extra mile to correct my mistake. I received the knife I intended because of their intervention.

Super disappointed on the delivery service at Blade HQ. I made an order well in advance for gifts to give at a wedding. The weeks ticked by, my delivery status was upgraded to 2 day and still the items never arrived. Fortunately, I went ahead and ordered back ups direct from the company in China. Yes, they've already arrived and my order from two states away...? No. Having difficulties now even cancelling the order because the website is acting up. Was excited about the expansive inventory but I guess that makes no difference if the items never arrive.

Poor inventory and customer service
October 16, 2023

I ordered an ATC Smarty color red while on sale with free shipping. Over ten days pass without any updates. I call customer service and they say it's out of stock and must offer me a refund and ten dollars gift card... The sale savings was approx 25 dollars. However, they fail to mention that inventory showed other colors of the ATC Smarty in stock and still do now. But if I want another color now, I must pay the full price plus shipping.

Blade buying made easy.
September 15, 2023

I purchased a couple of knives from Blade HQ and the buying experience was so simple. Everything came as it should have, but something was messed up with my points on my account. I messaged them and it was fixed quickly and painlessly. They are a complete package.

One minor problem
September 15, 2023

Everything was wonderful, except that I did not receive an email notifying me that my order had shipped (along with a tracking number). When I called, the lady who answered was extremely fast and helpful.

The shipping confirmation and total lack of communication/tracking is disappointing, but, whatever, the product arrived.

I put in my order on September 3rd, which thereafter I received an order number. After about a week and a half and after emails and a phone call my knife was shipped. I was a little unhappy with the whole process.
