I've been waiting on a order

AI Highlights
  • - Payment shows as received for the order; four pocket knives are missing.
  • - Ring size was off (8 vs ~7); please provide ETA for the four knives.

Waiting on my order made 9-16. It is paid for.

When do you think my four pocket knives will arrive? My credit card says you have been paid. I have received everything I ordered but these four knives. The ring should have been a size 8, but there is no way it was that large, more like a 7.

I can't wear it on any finger but my ring finger, so I will just keep it.

Had preferred it to be bigger. When will my four knives arrive?

Preferred solution: Deliver product or service ordered

Charging me every month 16$ and change I never signed up for it whatever it is

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Updated by user Aug 24, 2026

I think my money should be refunded to me since March even charging me $16.95 a month and I didn't sign up for no rewards program and didn't even get a reward while I was on it or any extra benefits or what's the use of even having it if there's no rewards to it stupid

Original review Aug 20, 2026

I'm really pissed off. I didn't sign up for rewards, and I've been charged over a hundred bucks for the last several months. I didn't realize it till yesterday, so I will never be ordering from you again until you give me back my money that you've been charging me every month: $16.95 since March.

User's recommendation: Be careful watch your credit card for extra money being taken out

Not sure from those I did chat with that I will be on the list to start paying for the Thomas Kincade Christmas one-of-a-kind figurine, and I need to know if what I have conveyed is sufficient enough.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I thought that I had sent the coupon in early enough but never did get any confirmation as to when I would be sending in the first payment. I was getting concerned is why I called.

I still did not receive any satisfactory answer, and I had NOT

heard from them until this email which I am telling you all about here.

User's recommendation: Be sure you keep a copy of the coupon when sending it in so you will have the necessary information for them if you should need to call them as I did, and I had no copy of the coupon it was hard for me to remember all the details. IO diod.

Check on order for Thomas Kincade Nativity

AI Highlights
  • - The customer cannot confirm the order status.
  • - They want first and subsequent payment dates.
  • - A callback with the information would have helped.
Updated by user Oct 05, 2026

Not at all pleased as I was never given an affirmative response as to whether I would be a recipient of the newest Nativity and when to/or send1st pmt

Original review Oct 02, 2026
Seems like I had talked to several people, and no one seemed to be able to find my order or tell me if I will "still be in the running" to receive this once-in-a-lifetime figurine.
I will need to know when the first payment is due and the additional ones, and it would have been so nice if someone from your company would have called me back with this pertinent information.
As I told those I did chat with that I am almost 92 years old and I would be remiss if I did not pass this one-of-a-kind Thomas Kincade figurine on to my g'daughter as I alluded to previously.
You have my email address, and I will be expecting to hear
from someone in the very near future as to whether I will be making payments on a timely basis.

I bought a $150.00 necklace from this company and agreed to pay through Karma. They have taken $296.00 out of my account.

Just caught it today.

No one available to talk to at this time. No more buying things from The Bradford EVER AGAIN!!!

I'd like my money refunded.

Billing

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I have resolved the issue and made the payment. I called the company.

Didn't quite understand what the person was saying about owing the bill. When I hung up, I thought hard about the issue and the information he gave me.

Then I realized what he was saying. The problem was on my end in not understanding, and I fixed the problem.

Pros:
  • Are very helpful

User's recommendation: Quality merchandise

Non-delivery

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Ordered a 50-year gift for their daughter; Bradford Exchange messed it up.
  • - Birthday passed; delivery claimed; refund chosen; distrust remains.

Too pissed off to leave anything positive for these fools! I ordered a special 50 yr birthday gift for my only daughter!

And bigger than bison's excrement, they screwed it up! I ordered and paid online, giving them a 10-day shipping window. Her birthday came and went, and they claimed it was delivered! Although they offered to resend one, I chose the refund!

Simply because: I don't and will never trust the Bradford Exchange.

Should be renamed to: The Badford Exchange. If they didn't deliver the first time, who in their right mind would think they would deliver the second time?

Loss:
$150
Pros:
  • All hype and no service only excuses
Cons:
  • Poor customer service and cant deliver what you order

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Do not from BradfordExchange! Credibility; Integrity and Consistency matter
