BladeHQ Para 2 exclusive M4 w/ Jade G10

[Bobby3326]

It'll be in stock thru the weekend if I had to guess. The ONLY reason I ordered one right on the nose when it went live was to be one of the first ones to receive it. Well....so much for that.

Hopefully it doesn't linger like the s35vn did...it'll kill it's resell investment for those who loaded up if so.

Placed an order for one “Spyderco M4 ParaMilitary2 Knife Natural G-10 (C81GM4P2)” at 9:00am PT on the dot and the order went through fast.

However, it did not show up on my BladeHQ Order Status page and there was no pending charge on my CC. At 9:10am PT I received a "Payment Error" email from BladeHQ but saying "We'll keep the items you placed in your order on hold for 48 hours". I tried calling but their lines were busy. I emailed back that "Payment Error" email and received a response at 10:15am PT:

"Hey Awesome Customer!
Like you, we are excited for the Exclusive M4 Paramilitary 2!
We took precautions to prepare our servers to handle the throngs of customers that were going to submit their orders at release to grab one!
Our credit card processor was warned to expect a spike in volume in anticipation of the release but were still unable to process all the payments as they came in.
As a result, your order is being held for you while we resolve the payment processing. Any duplicate orders or quantities of more than 3 knives will be cancelled.
You’ll be sent another email with confirmation that your payment has been successfully processed, followed with an email containing your tracking details as it’s ready to ship out.
If we have any questions or concerns regarding your order, we will contact you by phone to resolve those with you.
We appreciate your patience while we work through this process!

At around 10:30am PT I checked my CC again and there's a pending charge of $159.99 from BladeHQ!

However, as of 11:00am the order is still not on the BladeHQ Order Status page.

I'm sure it'll be fine...

I'm in the same boat

The last PM2 sprint took like 4 months to sell. People are acting surprised this knife isn't OoS yet. I mean come on lol...I would be surprised if it didn't last at least until Monday....but...none of us knows I suppose.

Agreed. While it may not be ethical, it's still perfectly legal.

I didn't say it was illegal, just highly distasteful. Some people can do that and live with themselves, some people can't.
Now if it was a $10 bottle of water after a natural disaster, it seems like the same thing but the government would step in and say it was illegal.

And yet that's about the price for water at Disneyland lol

The last sprint was priced too high and the blade and handle colour weren't well balanced.

Thanks to Blade HQ for giving us tons of notice, (and I also did get the instock email within an hour of this going live) and working through the order logjam.

Yes

I thought it was a good color combo...plus it came out right around Halloween :thumbup:

Satin blade and hardware would have been a feeding frenzy.

[catsandman]

[Rusty_shackelford]

[unbrokenchain33]

gd I hope my order for 2 went through. I swear I was the first to order hah. at least I saved my confirmation number!

 

[Arugess]

Had it in my cart... was too slow checking out and then lost it! Darn!

Pretty disappointing that I ordered at 9:01 and I'm still sitting here waiting to for confirmation yet people who ordered at 11:30 have already shipped. You'd think the people who ordered first would get priority treatment...

Youre likely in the error crowd with us other rushers
