Cold steel rubber recon tanto training knife

I ordered the Cold steel rubber recon tanto training knife for
Ju-Jitsu training.
There was no difficulties with the transaction, very good communication, and the knife arrived the following day via Royal mail so was fully trackable.
The knife was very well packaged, it's very detailed in its design.
I fully recommend Cold steel and thank you for your excellent service.

They didn't send one of the machetes I ordered. Emailed with no responses and my call conveniently keeps getting dropped.

We believe this review is either a fake review or if it is real, then it's not about our business and the customer has confused us with another company. This is based on

1. the fact the customer hasn't replied to our requests for more information so we can track his order and fix his problem
2. "Ewan Langely" doesn't exist on our sales system
3. Our sales team have no trace of a customer with this issue on the phones/email system.

We're working with Trust Pilot to try and get this review removed.

Amazing customer service!

Recently made a mistake with an order I made with these guys, and they honestly went above and beyond to make it right.

They arranged for the items to be returned at a reasonable rate compared to what the post office was charging, and done everything in their power to help me through the process.

The customer service is excellent on both the phone and through email. Very helpful, understanding and kind.

I have been a customer for years but have only ever had to make this one return and it was both easy and well handled by their staff.

I would also highly recommend this company for all your needs in regard to their products, which are far superior to those offered by their competitors.

Excellent service as usual.

I've made several purchases from Cold Steel UK. All have been dispatched promptly and received within 24 hrs. Any questions have been answered swiftly. This latest purchase was no exception. The order was placed on the 7th September and received on the 8th. I will definitely be making more purchases in the future.

Not great delivery options

Not great delivery options, I understand royal mail won't accept any bladed items anymore plus to even get maybe next day delivery the order has to be completed by 11am which seems very early. Ordered 2 items on the 22nd and will have to wait till the 27th for delivery. They told me delivery was Monday knowing full well it was going to be a bank holiday. 5 days seems a bit excessive when an item is coming from the UK itself. I think I'll go back to Heinnie.com they have impeccable customer service.

Hi

Thank you for your review.

Can you respond to my request for more information so I can track your order please?

I can investigate it properly then with the view to improve our service.

Thanks

Cold Steel left me cold!

The Gothic Mace I purchased broke after a couple of gentle whacks, and lo and behold it even breaks on Cold Steel's own YouTube video!

This being the case, I wrongly assumed that Cold Steel would admit their product was faulty and refund my money to me.

They have, however, completely ignored me.

After years of shopping with them it's a real kick in the teeth.

If I can be bothered I will pursue the matter via the small claims court.

Definitely NOT recommended.

Amazing customer services

I had problems with the delivery for a wedding present which was a combination of delivery company and probably the people who were going to recieve it.

Nothing to do with Coldsteel, yet Tony from customer services pursued this relentlessly for me and was absolutely awesome. Issue was resolved and I think this man deserves a medal and pay rise. Me and my brother have been customers since it first was available in the UK, and will be for a long long time after this.

Trust this company they put customers at the heart of their business.

Very prof3ssional - GREAT!!!

The staff are very welcoming, very professional and informative. Premises is spotlessly clean. I was made to feel very comfortable. Came away with alot of after care information about my piercing plus some cleaning fluid. The pricing is very competitive. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. They're goid at what they do. In my opinion, they're probably one of the best piercing/tattooing shops in London.

Hi Josh

Thank you for your review. Now that I have your order number I was able to find your order and investigate what happened.

I apologise for the processor sending you the wrong bat. Obviously mistakes can happen and I'm sorry about that.

From the emails, it looks like you opted to receive a £10 refund for you to keep the bat. I understand it was a pain for you to return the bat, but the other solution would have been for us to post you a label.

Anyway, if you still want to return the bat, the offer is still open and we'll send you a label. Or if you're happy with the £10 and keeping the bat, that's fine too.

Thanks
