Disappointing Customer Service
December 14, 2024

I contacted BladeHQ shortly after placing my order to inquire about the possibility of exchanging a knife with one from a different order. Unfortunately, I did not receive a response until two days later, by which time my order had already been shipped. Regrettably, no resolutions, such as an exchange, were offered. While I have had excellent experiences with BladeHQ in the past, I found this particular situation to be quite disappointing.

After placing an order I realized I had chosen the wrong shipping address. When I reached out to the the support team I was quickly taken care of by Kim F. She was wonderful in her follow up and made sure my order was correct and that I had everything I needed. I can't wait to receive my new knives.

Problem solved
December 12, 2024

I recently tried to purchase my second Kershaw Livewire knife. Since I've gotten a Livewire I've retired my Microtech otfs. Anyway wanting to use my $20 in points but was having real problems trying to make it work so I emailed BHQ. On Sunday, on a Sunday? I received an email from Wendy R a couple of hours after I sent mine. I was nicely given instructions on what to do and tried again but still couldn't get the $20 to show on the bill. Feeling frustrated I quit trying for a day or two. As though Wendy was reading my mind she sent a further text without being prompted with more information. She told me due to BHQ's system I needed to take a "leap of faith" that it would work. I'm 66 so I remembered that phrase from my childhood and I grinned. Following Wendy's additional information I tried again and I placed the order still not showing the $20 discount. I replied and sent screenshots of the bill not showing the discount. A couple of hours later I checked my credit card website as I've gone nuts with my Black Friday/Cyber Monday spending. I'm talking thousands here. And "low and behold" (another old saying) there was the charge reflecting the discount. I never was worried because early on Wendy told me she was going to personally see to it that I got the discount and I believed her due to the friendly way she was in her emails. So I notified her it worked so she wouldn't have to keep an eye on my order which must have been just one of many thousands.
Because of Windy I will continue to order from BHQ to feed my hobby of collecting knives. She is a credit to BHQ. She should get a raise!
Thank you from "the bottom of my heart" Wendy.

First and last purchase
December 9, 2024

I placed an order for a Dessert Warrior Civivi Elementum II, A pair of Dessert Warrior lanyard beads, and a WE keychain (free gift). I only received the knife. I called into Support and spoke with Wendy who was a very nice. She said she would send the beads in a separate order. I asked about getting the free gift since I was going to include it as a present with the beads in the knife (not to mention I was owed it since it was listed as part of my original order). Wendy said she would check to see if it was in stock and add it to the order. It was never added to the order so I sent an email asking about it again, or some other form of compensation due to the issues. Miraculously, the item was in stock and Wendy said she was sending it out. I then noticed that the knife I purchased was on sale for $15 less than I purchased it for about a week before. I asked Wendy if I could get that price match and a refund. I would've even taken a credit or even some other equivalent compensation. But I was told by Wendy that I had missed the cut off for a price match by one day.

Frankly, with the crappy experience I had because of your companiy's multiple mistakes and subsequent inconvenience it has caused me - not to mention the fact I'm a first time customer - I'm surprised no one would think that it would be fair as well as prudent to offer me a refund of some kind, credits for future purchases, and/or free gifts without me even having to ask.

I guess the HQ doesn't want to have repeat customers nor care if they have more experiences. I've bought $3000 plus in knives within the last 3 to 4 months. 3000+ could have come to BHQ If they had treated me right after the problems they caused. That won't be happening now. I'll just be writing for reviews on Google and the knife subreddits.

BladeHQ attempted to help this customer through the Sitejabber Resolution Center, but the customer did not respond
