Poor customer service, poor descriptions on products, long wait for delivery of wrong product and to top it off a ridiculous 25% restock charge. Avoid completely

Russums have been incredible to deal with. I ordered a popular chef's knife in March 2020. Due to a manufacturing defect the knife sadly snapped. I got in touch with Russums and they immediately set out to try and assist me. I've been dealing with Sue who has been fantastic. After sending pictures to Sue who sent them to the manufacturer she called me to sort out either a replacement or a credit. I went for the replacement as I love the knife and it wasn't anyone's fault that it broke. Within two days the item arrived. Fantastic service, honest and credible. I will use Russums again.

They're slow to deliver goods even though college kids are starting courses and the company couldn't care less . They're actually impressed with their diabolical service times that haven't improved in 30 years . They're deluded enough to think they manufacture more goods than the whole of China... Worst company ever. Your reply is a fob off. I called you literally 10 minutes before this review and your staff were vile and of no help what so ever . You even admitted your poor admin skills and the

Purchased some chef's knives - communication was excellent throughout with extra lengths gone by Russums to deliver them to me early. Pleased with the engraving too. Highly recommend their business.

Very pleased with the quality and price of the chefs knife set ordered which the company also engraved. The service was outstanding and my order was despatched the same day.
