The company has garnered mixed feedback, with some customers praising the prompt delivery and competitive pricing, expressing satisfaction with specific products. However, significant concerns overshadow these positives, particularly regarding customer service, order fulfillment, and product quality. Many reviews highlight frustrating delays, inadequate support for returns, and issues with product reliability, leading to customer dissatisfaction. The overall sentiment suggests that while the company may appeal to those seeking inexpensive novelty items, it struggles to meet the expectations of customers prioritizing quality and effective service.

Great site & prices, especially on sale items. However, Fedex "Smartpost" lies about the delivery date and changes it all the time, causing havoc on scheduling. It was the free shipping option I was offered, and it took 9 days for my package to arrive to NY from GA. The way it works is Fedex transfers the package to USPS once it is close to the recipient, but USPS has terrible customer service. UPS is worse in terms of handling packages, so it really is picking the lesser of three evils. The standard shipping methods are pressumably better & I've been a customer for years so, 4.5 stars. Love the catalogues given with orders.
I was really impress with all my items. I got a few things wasn't sure of but so glad I got them. I have already told friends and family members about your products.
One of the buckles has already broken so dont look for quality in BUDK products. I know they say you get what you pay for. But you'd expect a simple belt buckle to last more than a day
Takes quite a while for customer service representative to get back to the customer, but overall pretty good service
My latest order from BUDK was to great satisfaction, as always. Having reliable service and great products, they never disappoint.
Fast and accurate. No problems and its perfect. My husband will love his christmas presant. It arrived early and i was able to get to the swords before he was.
When getting the products that I ordered, I was not just satisfied but blown away at the quality of the knives and took that I purchased. Everything packed well kerping damage from shipping from harning the product and the products them selves were the best I have seen. You have my business for life. Thanks Anthony D.
My order came in with mo problems what so ever love the stars and the knife i ordered good job guys thanks again bud k
I love BudK. The M48 gloves and knife I've purchased have exceeded my expectations. I've also gotten so great additions to my survival bag.
Seems real effective, and doesn't smell as bad as a review I read.the light sticks are impressive. Can't wait to use them. I bought them for bugout bags that I gave to my adult kids last christmas
You carry all that would make all of my family happy
I can't wait to c what you have for us in the near future
Never disappointed in their product that I have ordered. Could use specials on returning customers or something in that nature.
Received my items as they were advertised. Solid product for a reasonable price. I have yet to be disappointed by a product from BUDK.
The knives were amazing look great and felt great. Good product for the price. I would recommend them to anyone as a must have.
Everything I have ordered so far was worth the money. I bought a cheap sword that had a chord wrapped grip that unwrapped after a couple swings at a tree, but it was like $12 and not meant to be used as an axe. The sword was sharp and looked cool. I would just be a bit leery of chord wrapped handles or buy an axe or machete if you plan on clearing some brush. At least it didn't break in half like the $30 sword I bought from a different store.
Everything I ordered was in stock, shipped fast, packed exceptionally well. Once again, I would recommend BudK to everyone that wants qualify stuff at great prices. BudK's customer service should be commended for their outstanding level of knowledge concerning their products and their expertise in handling customer wants and needs.
My order, once again, was received in good time and in good condition. My sword was a great value and looks great hanging on the wall. BudK is my "go to" for the items they offer.
Thanks BudK!
You guys have an amazing selection of products, with the best prices i have seen all in one convienient location! You guys rock!
Everything I have ever ordered from BudK has always met my expectations and I plan on ordering more items in the future.
Answer: Depends on how much you're willing to spend. The ones on BudK are all junk with the, out of place, exception of their Benchmade line-up which are some of the best OTF's and range from $250-$450(add, at the bare minimum, another $50+ for taxes and shipping). Personally, I think, with all the mechanics involved in an OTF, it's not worth the price tag because the more "mechanisms" you put in a knife, the less reliable it becomes, which is why a fixed blade will always be more reliable than a folder or an automatic of equal quality. Especially since I'm not a mercenary or an assassin. OTF's are definitely cool tho. So, as with any knife, if it's for show, buy cheap. If it's for survival, dip into your savingsFrom top down, these knives are in order of reliability.
Answer: Depends on how much you're willing to spend! Standard is like $15-$20, expedited is like $25-$35, then you also have the option to have your package moved to somewhere closer to the front of the line for $3-$5. Kinda feels like a racket to me. My advice when thinking about using budk is to see if amazon has what you want first, as many of the items on budk can be found on amazon for cheaper and with free, well tracked, shipping. Here's their shipping info from their site: Merchandise TotalStandard Shipping3 - 5 Day Express2 - 3 Day Express1 - 2 Day ExpressUp to $25.00$10.99Add $8.99 To Standard Shipping ChargesAdd $13.00 To Standard Shipping ChargesAdd $28.00 To Standard Shipping Charges$25.01 - $49.00$11.99$49.01 - $70.00$13.99$70.01 - $100.00$14.99$100.01 - $200.00$16.99Over $200.00$18.99
