Top notch customer service
December 7, 2024

I received a (beautiful) knife with a button that was a bit...reluctant, shall we say.

Kim F. Suggested I take matters into my own hands, and with some compressed air and a tiny bit of lubrication, all was well with the world (she also made it clear I was welcome to send it back if I chose, but why not try a bit of self-help?).

Kim couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. Blade HQ is lucky to have them.

Blade HQ Customer Service
December 6, 2024

I purchased two knives from HQ Utah and worked with HQ Virginia customer service post purchase. Both organizations were quick to answer my questions and help me out. I'm very satisfied with both knives so shout out to Mercedes in Utah and Kim F from Virginia who was quick to take care of a problem with reward points. I'm 100% good to go now so thanks everyone and feel quite comfortable purchasing more from either HQ location!

I've placed orders in the past without issue but when changing to a new mailing address they banned my account. They wanted me to send my ID and personal information via email to "unlock" my account. Seems really suspect to ask for someone to send images of their drivers license or other info. There was no 2fa or other check to confirm email account ownership, etc. I've ordered in the past with no issue, so disappointing to see customer service drop to the level of computer-based auto-bans based on automated policies that don't appear to make sense.

Thank you for sharing your experience, and we want to sincerely apologize for the frustration caused by this situation.
To help protect our customers and ensure the security of transactions, we’ve implemented robust fraud protection measures. In some cases, these safeguards may request additional verification when an account changes or specific activity raises flags. While providing identification can feel unusual, it’s an essential step to ensure your account and purchases remain safe.
To clarify, our fraud prevention system works independently of manual intervention, and using the provided authentication tools, like 2FA, can further streamline the process and enhance the security of your user account.
I’m happy to inform you that your account has been unlocked as of today, and you can now resume using it without issue. We truly appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to balance security with providing a seamless shopping experience.
If there’s anything else we can assist you with, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Thank you for choosing Blade HQ, and we look forward to serving you again!

Great experience
November 30, 2024

I had an awesome experience with the customer service team. A complete mistake on my end ordering the wrong parts led to me contacting the company for a return. After contacting them they paid for the return shipping and created a label to slap on the box and send out in the mail. They didn't have to pay for the return but they did. All the staff I had interaction with were very helpful!

I have been looking on multiple knife websites searching for an 11 inch swingaurd Franky and what do you know they popped up at gw so I ordered super fast knowing they would sell out fast and got my knife 5 days later woo hoo like Christmas morn for a 9 yr old. Opened the box to find a standard frank bolster release wahhhhh! Like a baby heart broken. I thought it was too good to b true come to find out I don't think anyone got one. I figured they were unicorns oh well keep on dreaming

First and last purchase
November 20, 2024

Ordered a case knife. When I received the knife, one of the handle pins was missing, the main blade had a rolled edge and both blades were re-sharpened. This was evident by all the grit build up on the edge, very dirty. When I pay for a new knife, I expect it to be new. On top of that they didn't refund the full amount. I'll never do business with this company again.

Incredible customer service
November 10, 2024

I've been a customer of BHQ for a few months now, and I have yet to find another company with equally superb customer service. My most recent example was when I reached out to BHQ over what I suspected was a compromised account. The associate Zack A. Was immensely helpful in resolving the issue, (which turned out to have been me mixing up some of my email accounts...) and was very understanding throughout the entire process. I also had to return a small and rather inexpensive item a while back, and I was pleasantly surprised to have the request not only accepted, but the return shipping paid for and a full refund issued, despite the low cost of the item itself. BHQ is an uncommon gem in this department.

Customer Service Improved
October 11, 2024

Had a multi knife order with one knife suffering lock stick. Contacted BHQ about returning it for credit toward a new one and they were immediate in sending me a prepaid return label. Shipped it back in Thu and BHQ's Alyssa contacted me Mon to let me know she already posted my credit and I could use it any time. I think BHQ's cust srvc took a real downfall last year in slow response and even slower shipping orders. They seem to have corrected that and are back on their A game now. Thanks BHQ, and thank you Alyssa for taking care of my issue so fast!
