"About the service: OK, so my order arrived a few days ago (on time) and I have to say the entire experience has been a pleasant one. I had to ship it to my office (expensive shipments require daytime signature) and customer service had no problem getting the delivery switched over... and the OTHER THING is that Metrokitchen's customer service is amazing, you call the phone number... and a REAL person picks up the phone, no dialing extensions or waiting in a queue (for me at least) About the product: The knives shipped in the same box, but individually packaged, which is nice if you keep the stuff (like i do) to move eventually. They look amazing and have an adequate out of box sharpness, but I'll probably hand sharpen them some more. The only thing to note is that the roast carver in this set isn't the best way to get sammiches sliced, for that you'll probably want the bread knife http://www.metrokitchen.com/product/GL-G-9 "
