Correct on that and that may be why he moved to other carriers for shipment. From chatter I hear the fans are getting fed up as they all complain about not getting their knife in 90 day or many months and no return calls/emails. There are people waiting on their 12, 8, 5.1, ect for 6 years yet some people get their Magnacut 5.1 in a few months. The fans come here and defend them and then report back in hopes of getting their pound of steel. Survive Knives has not changed their act in years and if anything ramped up the deception. More and More models are being sold yet few knives go out. Not to be trusted is an understatement when it comes to survive knives. LET THE BUYER BEWARE!

FAILURE TO DELIVER MERCHANDISE SOLD BY MAIL, INTERNET OR TELEPHONE WITHIN PROMISED DELIVERY TIME TIME OR 30 DAYS, WHICHEVER IS SHORTER, VIOLATES FEDERAL LAW, UNLESS THE BUYER EXPRESSLY CONSENTS TO A DELAYED DELIVERY.
16 CFR Part 435
Rule Summary
The Rule, issued in 1975, requires sellers who solicit buyers to order merchandise through the mail, via the Internet, or by phone to have a reasonable basis to expect that the sellers can ship within the advertised time frame, or, if no time frame is specified, within 30 days. The Rule also requires that, when a seller cannot ship within the promised time, the seller must obtain the buyer’s consent to a delay in shipping or refund payment for the unshipped merchandise.
For more information, see Business Guide to the FTC's Mail or Telephone Order Merchandise Rule."
www.ftc.gov
"What You Must Do If You Learn You Cannot Ship on Time
When you learn that you cannot ship on time, you must decide whether you will ever be able to ship the order. If you decide that you cannot, you must promptly cancel the order and make a full refund.
If you decide you can ship the order later, you must seek the customer’s consent to the delay. You may use whatever means you wish to do this -- such as the telephone, fax, mail, or email -- as long as you notify the customer of the delay reasonably quickly. The customer must have sufficient advance notification to make a meaningful decision to consent to the delay or cancel the order.
Penalties
Merchants who violate the Rule can be sued by the FTC for injunctive relief, monetary civil penalties of up to $46,517 per violation (any time during the five years preceding the filing of the complaint), and consumer redress (any time during the three years preceding the filing of the complaint). When the mails are involved, the Postal Service also has authority to take action for problems such as non-delivery. State law enforcement agencies can take action for violating state consumer protection laws.

Sorry that this happened mate but we're not all bad.
I bought a custom historical knife (not on this forum) earlier this year from the states. It got posted and then a couple of weeks later after it hadn't arrived I checked tracking. Usps said it was en route to the destination from Melbourne, auspost said it hadn't arrived in country.
I contacted him and he offered to return my money. I said hold off and wait to see but worse case scenario I'll cover some costs for his materials and time. Anyhow without confirming with me he returned the whole amount. Couple of weeks later the knife turned up. I then repayed him in full again and wore the fees. Bit of a dogs breakfast but I value my integrity as he did his.
The knife unfortunately has been very disappointing but I don't like offending or causing trouble so I've just worn it as a lesson and will use the knife in a display instead of on my hip for hunting.
I had a dispute running with Auspost and in the end they said usps use predictive tracking which is why they didn't match up. Something folks should bare in mind.
At any rate , I've since shipped knives from UK and France and had zero issues. Currently waiting on a couple more from the UK. I've just learnt to be patient with international freight.
I hope you will consider selling to my countryman again, maybe just not the galah mentioned in the beginning of the thread.

The problem with this is once you complain they will most likely cancel your order and give you your money back. Also in the fine print they always say no promise date. The emails you might get from them are always trying to get you to ok an extension. Then the should ship, expected to ship, and when you click that 90 days somewhere in the fine print they don't really have to send you a blade and that you agree to it. Please read their contract for business it will awaken you to a slimy company. I would urge people to get off their waiting chair and go file a complaint with the BBB so others can get alerted. Then go to the FTC but there are other violations too and trust me the FTC has heard of Survive Knives before. You can even check on the past post to get some tips. Since the fraud begins in ID and your state I would urge the complainant to contact the Attorney General of both States. Ponzi is just some of the terms that come to mind. Theft by deception, larency , and wire fraud.
I really don’t know what you’re talking about here, I was asking
Thomas Linton
if he’s ever filed a complaint. The reason I asked is because in many threads, he will post screens full of legal mumbo-jumbo with nothing else to substantiate that it’s an option with an actual outcome in a situation like this.He never responds.
