Shipping Policy

At Bodacious Knives, we’re committed to getting your handmade knives to you safely and as quickly as possible, no matter where in the world you are. Please read our shipping policy below for full details.

Order Processing Time

Every knife we sell is handmade, so processing times can vary depending on the order:

  • Orders are typically dispatched within 5-7 business days of confirmation.
  • Processing time may extend for larger orders or orders with multiple pieces, since each knife is individually hand-forged and finished.
  • If your order ships from our USA or Portugal warehouse (subject to stock availability), processing and delivery times are generally much faster.

Shipping Locations

We maintain warehouses in three locations — the USA, Portugal, and Pakistan — so we can serve customers around the world efficiently. Your order will ship from whichever location currently has your item in stock, and we’ll notify you of the shipping origin so you know what to expect.

Shipping Carriers

We ship exclusively through trusted, trackable international couriers:

  • DHL
  • UPS
  • FedEx

The specific carrier used for your order depends on your delivery location and what offers the best combination of speed and reliability.

International Shipping

We proudly ship worldwide. A few important notes for international customers:

  • Customs duties, import taxes, and VAT are determined by your country’s customs authority and are not included in the product price or shipping cost. These charges, if applicable, are the customer’s responsibility.
  • Knife import regulations vary by country — including restrictions on blade length, knife type, and required permits. It is the customer’s responsibility to check their local laws before placing an order.
  • We declare all international shipments accurately and in accordance with customs requirements.

Order Tracking

Once your order is dispatched, you will receive a tracking number via email, allowing you to follow your shipment’s journey in real time through the courier’s tracking system.

Delays

While we do everything we can to ship orders promptly, please note that delivery timelines are estimates and not guarantees. Factors such as customs processing, courier delays, weather, or high-demand periods may occasionally extend delivery times beyond the standard estimate.
