      In September of 2023 I order a knife from a company called survive knives. I was told it would take a few months. I checked back in December and was told January or February for the finish. I have sent emails and asked questions on their ******** page and even on their ******* videos. They have failed to respond at all. I call the company and it goes directly to a full mailbox. If you look on their ******** page or ****** this is a very common problem. People have been waiting years without an info. I just want a refund.

      I ordered the *** 2.7 February of 2023. I have not received the product, the business will not refund and has stopped responding. Before they stopped responding, they kept saying they would send a different knife or refund, neither of which happened. I just want a REFUND!

      I ordered a product on 25JAN2022. I have not received the product yet and would like to cancel my order for a refund. Provided schedule updates are never accurate as timelines are never met. I have been patient, but waiting nearly two years for product delivery while constantly seeing the company develop and release other products is unacceptable. I dont want to punish the company; I simply want my money back. I requested this about a week ago and have received no response. This seems to be a pattern of behavior, so it seems appropriate to escalate at this point.

      I ordered a GSO-5.1 knife from this company and paid $269 for it. They said orders would be delivered in 90 days. I emailed them via an area available on their their website in May, 2023. After no answer I emailed them from my personal email address on July 7, 2023 requesting my money back. On 11/14/23 I logged in here to file a complaint and saw their telephone number (never available on their website) and called it. The voicemail was full. Im asking for help to recover my money.

      I ordered in January 2023. Have not received the product. They dont respond to email. They just send silly newsletters with vague information. I think they are a scam.

      On 10/10/2022 I placed an order at Survive Knives LLC for a GSO-5.1 fixed blade knife for the cost of $269.00 (Order #*****). At the time of purchase, the website had a disclaimer that all new orders would ship within 90 days. In the months following placing the order I visited the website frequently to check for status. During this time they updated the website multiple times claiming that they were experiencing delays, but never provided me with a status of my order. After waiting close to 9 months for this order, I was fed up with the delays and attempted to contact them to cancel my order for a refund. Below is a summary of my attempts to contact them:- On 05/04/2023 I contacted them via email asking for them to cancel my order. I received no response to this email.- On 05/16/2023 I used their Contact Us page on their website to send a message requesting cancellation of my order. I received no response to this message. - On 05/24/2023 I called them multiple times to cancel my order. No one answered the phone, and their voicemail box was full so I was unable to leave a message.- On 05/24/2023 I sent them a text message letting them know I had tried contacting them and wanted to cancel my order. I received no response to this text.I have continued trying to call them weekly and they never answer their phone and their voicemail is always full. At this point I believe that Survive LLC is a fraudulent company that has no intention of refunding me or providing me with the product that I paid for.
