Below are our Frequently Asked Questions
ORDER ISSUES
How long will it take for my order to be processed and shipped?
We process and ship your order as quickly as possible. The majority of our orders ship within two business days (M-F excluding holidays). During the Holiday/Christmas season processing and shipping times may be longer. For in-stock items shipping via our Free Shipping it normally takes 3 to 5 business days for these orders to reach their destinations. (This excludes the following destinations Alaska, Hawaii, and some US west coast detinations as shipping to the destinations can take longer) If you need to receive your order quicker, we offer upgraded 2-Day and Next Day shipping at a added cost.
How do I know if my order has been processed?
When you place an order, it will take you to an order confirmation page and give you your order number. You will also receive an order confirmation email which includes your order number. When your order ships you will receive an email with your order tracking information.

If I have backordered merchandise, will it hold up my entire order?

For items that showed in stock when the order was placed but are now unavailable, we will contact you via email to see if you would like to back-order the item or would like a refund. If you select to backorder the item, and if we do not receive stock on that product within 90 days we will cancel your backorder, issue a refund immediately and reach out to you via email.

PRODUCT & STOCK
Why have I received an email saying the item I've ordered is out of stock?
We do our best to keep our inventory up to date and accurate on our website, however there is a short delay on orders coming over to be fulfilled. Because of this sometimes there is a timing mix-match and inventory updates that a product is available but it's been sold on an order that just hasn't gone to fulfillment yet, which can cause us to oversell. In these cases we will notify you of our mistake and either offer to back-order the item for you, see if we can substitute the item with something similar, or if we can do none of these things issue and refund and cancel the order.
How can I search to find products on the website?
If you click on "SEARCH" at the very top right of our website on desktop it will open the search bar and you can type what you are looking for. On mobile you will need to click the 3 Horizontal lines at the top left to open the menu and in it will be the search bar.
Do you Price Match?
In most cases we cannot because the majority of the products we sell fall under a manufacturer's minium advertised price policy or MAP policy in which to sell their products we must agree to sell them at a minimum price. However, that doesn't mean we don't make mistakes. If you find a product in which our price is higher than other online shops and the item is identical it's possible we made a mistake. If you can send us the link to the item in our store and a link to the item in the store where it's lower to support@automaticknives.com we will review it and if we can lower our price we will.
Why do you not ship or do not ship certain products to my state/city ?
Because of the type of product we sell they are state and local laws that prevent us from selling/shipping to certain places. You can find our full shipping polices here
