Suspended Account Process
December 19, 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.

Fast and Responsive
December 12, 2023

I emailed about a problem with the checkout, but it turned out to be correct. As Brooke H. Explained it well and helped me understand what happened way better than what was shown.

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.

Very disappointed
December 19, 2023

I placed an order and never received a confirmation email. I called Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. I was met with the same message saying my call couldn't be answered because they were in a team meeting. I paid the extra money for shipping for it to arrive in 2- 5 business days because it was supposedto be a gift. I emailed twice letting Blade HQ know I haven't received a confirmation of order or shipping confirmation and I couldn't get ahold of anyone. 5 days later, a blank email in response to my concern, with an automated response to rate my experience. Monday I finally got through and spoke with a live person on the phone. I was told my card was declined due to fraudulent activity, but my bank didn't contact me as they have in the past asking if I placed the order.
It's frustrating when you can't reach anyone by email or phone especially when you are trying to get info on an order you placed.

Great support
December 11, 2023

The CS Rep was very pleasant and helpful. It seems the back-end operations of BladeHQ are a bit stressed or not functioning with optimal efficiency for the order load. This CS rep made up for that.

No knife for Christmas.
December 16, 2023

Bought a Benchmade 940 M4 a week and a half ago and had to reach out because the tracking number showed that it was never shipped. I sent an email to ask where it was and received a reply a couple of days later telling me that it was out of stock and they were refunding my money. The knife still shows available online although out of stock and at a higher price.This was to be a gift for my son, he picked it out. Now I have to tell him that he is not getting it for Christmas.

Excellent customer service
December 8, 2023

I have been a long time customer of Blade, HQ and use them l exclusively for all my automatic knife purchase. This is due primarily to their wide variety of knives in stock, but no less because of their excellent customer service. First, as a small business owner myself, I realize the importance of keeping the customer happy report, which sadly is not found in all faculties. So suffice it to say, I will continue using blade HQ p as my exclusive purchaser of automatic knives now and in the future. Thanks so much for all your help so

Lackluster...as usual
December 14, 2023

I was very politely told to go pound sand...They messed up and canceled my orders, They never contacted me about the issue so I could fix it and get my order, when I complained I got nothing zero zip nada in the way of anything useful. Shopper beware and pray they have your item in stock and that they don't mess up your credit card...
