We know that you have a lot of choices when purchasing your cutlery online and there are many competitors out there. Some of our competitors are positioning themselves as the discount knife supplier of the Internet, others claim that they are the place to buy with the most comprehensive list of suppliers, and still others are using their names and retail story as the reason that you should purchase from them. Quite simply we at PremiumKnives.com stake our claims on our customer’s comments and satisfaction.

We do not carry every knife manufacturer. In our opinion, there are a lot of manufacturers who just make knives with no regard for quality, form, function, etc. We will not carry them in our product line. We carefully select our products based on the following criteria: overall quality, form, function, artistic quality, value, and availability. We carry only the type of cutlery we would want to own personally. We are constantly reevaluating the manufacturers we do carry and adding new ones that fit our criteria all the time.

Let’s face it, selling online is not the same as selling in the traditional retail establishment or catalog business. It is a whole new way to purchase with a whole new set of rules. When purchasing online, most customers will never have interaction with a live person - as when purchasing from a store or catalog operator. You don’t walk out with your merchandise in hand. When purchasing online, you order your merchandise site unseen and put your trust in the company - that they will responsibly handle your sensitive personal information and will ship to you the exact product you ordered. Anyone who has done much online ordering has horror stories that they could tell you: unsecured sites that allow anyone access to the credit card numbers, orders that are billed but never received, or orders are received months after being billed and placing the order with no communication from the company -- the list could go on and on. At PremiumKnives.com you will never have these worries.

Our order system is totally secure, we use the top encryption package available to protect your credit card number, we never sell or distribute our customer list, your credit card is never charged until your order is shipped, you receive an immediate e-mail confirmation with an order number that can be used to track your order. We also keep you updated via e-mail when your order has been shipped and when you should receive it on your doorstep. We strive to deliver all of our orders within seven days or sooner after placement, however because some of our items are handmade, or may become discontinued this may not be possible, but we will always notify you of this and give you an approximate delivery date.

That is what sets PremiumKnives.com apart from our competitors.
