Oso grande Knife and Tool Restocking Charge

[alchemy knife]

Boink,

If you want to know exactly what you are buying, shop your local knife store. You may pay a bit more, but you get to check out the exact knife before you spend yor money. You save shipping (both at the original purchase and for the return). You save money for restocking if you return it. (Most stores don't charge a restock fee for returns.)

In fact, I'd bet you would have ended up paying less if you had just bought it at your local cutlery store, than it will now cost (if you include the shipping and restock fees you've already paid).

Knife stores have their advantages. You get to look, touch, and know exactly what you are getting. Returns are for the most part painless. It seems to me that all of that is well worth the extra cost originally.

I love going to my local knife store, but there are two unfortunate aspects - it's so far just to get there; not too many other places to visit in the vicinity to make the trip worthwhile or easy. It's a good hour's drive. And the store is not all that well stocked.

In the Northeast, there's simply not many knife stores. Even this lone store has been harassed by the local authorities!! They went and took merchandise and held it. Put this poor family who own it through a lot of legal bills.

They figured that with the knife store, all sorts of bad elements will suddenly rise from the shadows and start knifing unsuspecting folks. It's a case of politics over an honest person's commerce. Politicians are always looking for ways to prove to folks that they're "doing something."

Anyway, this Christmas, I will be doing a little shopping there for corporate gift giving and others. (to my suppliers, not my customers. Too many PC folks in the skyscrapers where they work who'd sh*t if they took a knife out of a box).
