Amazon Assisted Knife Restricted?

[Cavalry]

My daily needs to be replaced. Cheapest price out there is on Amazon but they do not ship assisted to NY for some reason? When did this become a thing or are they being overly zealous?

No biggie, I'll just order it from somewhere else, but was confused on the restriction.

The queen is going to ban pencils next in NY because of John Wick.

I found this out a while ago when I wanted a knife I saw a review on, perfectly legal to have in NY, nothing about it was against NY standards but Amazon wouldn't ship it. They might be going with the " It's easier to just not ship things there" mindset

 

[wirehairfan]

It's been that way for a long time. They will not allow perfectly legal items to be shipped to you.

 

[pshift]

Yup. All of the above unless you have a friend in another state and you schedule a visit ...

 

[Bustedknees]

They won't even do most folding lock blades.

 

[GOYABEAN]

C'mon man they have no issues shipping neon lighted buttplugs queen approved

 

[Vapor]

They won't ship almost any folder now.

Interesting coincidence. I was also on Amazon just this morning looking to replace my own S&W SWAT folder (which I originally bought on Amazon) but no dice. Won't ship.

 

[Phazer]

Similarly, Amazon will not ship most airsoft guns to NY.

 

[S&W Fan]

Screw Amazon. Spend your money where it’s actually appreciated.

Its because of NYC. Amazon has defaulted to the NYC laws thinking that applies to the whole state.

I find it difficult to blame companies that don't want to hire full legal teams just to decipher the differing laws amongst zip codes in the same state, so just say eff it and no shipping at all.

Exactly it's easier to just say, don't ship at all to such and such state than it is to go through a ton of laws and spend tons of money also doing so.

Plenty of knife sites that ship to NY, autos as well...

Amazon is probably cheap Chinese knockoffs anyways. Look elsewhere!

I've never nor would I purchase anything Firearm or Blade related from Amazon, EVER!

Try KniveShipFree, I've made numerous purchases there over the years.

Good Luck!

Depends on what you’re buying. Bought a Harris Bipod, took it out didn’t like the height sent it back got the right height, sent it back again cause I wanted the swivel. All my bad
No one else would tolerate that shit.

 

[Rap]

Really? I thought Amazon loved Chinese junk....

Amazon likes money, regardless of the quality or origin of the underlying product. And the knife has served its purpose and outlived its purchase price at this point.

 

[pshift]

Ah but will a local supplier tolerate returns after 30 days? I will buy from them if they have a name brand item I know of.

 

[Parzival]

Too many fakes out there to buy on Amazon, especially Benchmade.

 

[RedBreast21]

Amazon doesn't want to violate city ordinances like NYC. They aren't building a data base on legal zip codes. So just buy from another vendor.

If you really want to talk about interesting coincidences....

I have been using these as a daily for probably 10 years. I get about 18 months out of one before its just too hashed to use anymore. People have asked me why I don't carry a benchmade or spyderco, because I use it as a screwdriver, prybar, boxcutter, and hammer...oh and they cost $40.

Restriction is ridiculous. I tried to order my kid a knife and they refused. I attempted to communicate with them letting them know they were legal and they wanted nothing to do with that conversation. Good luck.
A Quick Look shows me any folder with a thumb stud is restricted and cannot be shipped to NYS. Sucks.
