Blade-x (Midwest Knives; BladeRealm; BladeUniverse)

[Thomas Linton]

Update. I ordered a Fallkniven Thor from Midwest Knives of Ohio. It didn't arrive in 2-3 weeks as promised - or in 4,5 or 6. All inquiries ignored. Seems they use "peel-off" names. BladeUniverse seems to = BladeRealms. Payment is to be to "Midwest Ohio Knives." "Midwest Ohio Knife Co." takes payment. Blade-X handles the so-alled "customer supprt" for BladeUniverse/Realms and enter "Blade-X" on a search engine and you get "BladeUniverse.". BladeUniverse site says: "You are here: BladeRealms."

Yeah, I just had my first and last experience with BladeRealms aka BladeUniverse aka Blade-X.

Last Sunday I purchased a Fallkniven A1 from BladeRealms. Got a quick response invoice. Next morning I checked back on the site and discovered that it had been DISABLED .

I called their toll free number (which is also listed on BladeUniverse and it wouldn't even ring. I called their toll number (AZ area code) and IT wouldn't ring. e-mailed their customer support and got this response: (This is word-for-word. I saved it!) "This is an autoresponder. I'll never get your message."

Called my bank and transferred my credit card account.

Reported the site to the FBI to check it out. :barf: :barf:

I'd be interested to know if anyone has ever received an order from this "company".

Stay away.
