I was a little confused with the…

I was a little confused with the ordering options. Was really planning on one board, but saw the 3for2 offer. There were size options for 2 boards, but did not see a choice available for the 3rd board. So figured the third was either going to be another large or smaller. But then when reviewing the summary the total was over $300. Figured the single board price was $90, x2 would be $180 and third was supposed to be free. Had some difficulty with the transaction as well, but don't know if that was because my card initially declined the charge until I indicated it was valid. Nothing showed on the order or shortly after that the transaction went through but I decided to wait before going back through the ordering process because I did not want to receive two different shipments. Good call on my part!

My cutting board allows me not to worry about bacteria growing on it. It feels clean and stays clean. The chef knife I got along with it is really nice as well and they work beautifully together. I used a brand new bread knife that I had to slice a soft bread and it scratched my board, but the board is still good to use for my usual food prep.

Very responsive company

The customer service of this company is great; email inquiries abd concerns are answered promptly and thoroughly. The titanium cutting boards so far have held up well without any scratches. They're easy to clean. I don't have to worry lingering microbes now. The only thing that would make them better are silicone or polyurethane dots on the corners.

The product is worth the hype

The product is worth the hype and the wait. All of the boards I ordered are perfect and have responded well to use so far. The knife set is gorgeous, can't wait to try it. The only thing that brings the rating down was the barrage of emails I received between my purchase and the shipment arriving. Calm down, you already got my money, I can wait patiently for the product.

"Food Network" Ad is FAKE - Dulls knives

I was sent an article bearing the Food Network logo wherein an alleged food safety inspector's sister went through all the tests they did together to find the most hygenic cutting board. The article purported that this company only sold to commercial companys and touted that they were the only cutting boards used in hospital kitchens. That's all lies. There was no connection to Food Network and this company was never commercial exclusive. A quick search will confirm this as well as the fact that hospitals use plastic cutting boards.

The checkout process is very shady. They do everything they can to get you to bbuy more cutting boards (I fell for it and now own three knife-dulling slices of metal). Then when you think you're done, they tell you you're getting a special gift worth $100something but you have to wait through the video on the checkout page. That's just a ploy to get you to buy their knives which somehow magically work better than other knives on their titanium cuttng boards. The "gift" is a ddiscounte price on their knives, so not a gift at all. I didn't fall for this one. They also did offer several "Free Gifts" with purchase - a silicone non-slip mat, a knive sharpener, and something else. Those items did not arrive and there was no mention of them in any of the MANY missives they sent me bbetween ordering and receiving them. I reached out to customer support to inquire and their AI basically said "oops, sorry we ran out" and then asked if I wanted to be added to the waiting list for them. Suss. If you promise a customer something and then can't deliver on it, you should definitely tell them and you should AUTOMATICALLY place them on the wait list to recieve those items. I replied that I would hope I was already on the list, but to add me if not.

I haven't independently tested these to see if they're actually titanium, but I plan to. The one thing that does seem to be factual is that they do not hold on to any odor and are therefore easy to clean.

Oncce I got them and did the research I should have done before clicking purchase, I contacted them to see about returning them. Apparently upon checkout you agree that this purchase is final, barring any defect in workmanship etc. The excuse they gave me was that it's a food safety issue. Wait, didn't you just sell me on the fact that these aer virtually indestructable and not subject to any leftover foodborne illness creating germs? Yes you did.

On top of all that, they dull the shit out of my knives. Apparently less than glass or stainless steel, but I am CONSTANTLY having to hone my knives. It's frustrating and I feel duped.

STEER CLEAR!

Hi Conery,

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and I understand this experience has been frustrating for you. I'd like to address each of your points directly so we can clear things up and make sure you're fully supported.

First, regarding the content you saw: we work with affiliate partners who run independent articles and promotions to introduce our boards to new audiences. We don't write or control the content they publish, and any claims made in third-party articles don't originate from Auntie Rue. What we can stand behind is this: our titanium cutting boards are sourced from Seki, Japan, known worldwide for premium culinary-grade materials, and they are genuinely titanium, truly non-porous so bacteria cannot penetrate the surface, lightweight, dishwasher-safe, and designed to last for decades. We've never claimed exclusivity to hospitals or affiliation with any network, and our boards are proudly available to home cooks and professionals alike.

On the checkout experience, every offer presented during the process is opt-in, and the order summary always displays your total before purchase is finalized. The bonus video and knife offer you mentioned are additional opportunities, not requirements, and skipping them simply means continuing to complete your order. The promotional items referenced at checkout carried a combined promotional retail value we listed at the time; that value reflected what we would list them for if sold separately, though we don't currently sell them at that price point. Their actual current value on our site totals around fifteen dollars, and if you didn't receive them due to availability, that amount is the fair resolution we'd be happy to provide. Please reach out to our team at support@auntierue.com, and we'll make sure that's taken care of.

Regarding your knives: titanium is significantly softer than glass or ceramic and falls mid-range on the hardness scale, which means it does require regular honing just like any quality cutting surface. That's normal maintenance for keeping an edge sharp, not a defect. If you're experiencing more dulling than expected, it's worth checking that your knives are fully dry when stored and that you're using a smooth honing motion; our customer care team is always happy to share best-practice tips.

Finally, our return policy is clearly stated during checkout and is in place because these boards come into contact with food. It's a safety standard we hold across all orders. That said, if you feel the boards aren't meeting your needs and you'd like to discuss your options further, please email support@auntierue.com directly. Our team will work with you personally to find a resolution that feels right.

We genuinely appreciate you taking the time to reach out, and we're here to help.

A scam operation of the first order

A scam operation of the first order. The prices change as you proceed through the order process. Extra charges are attached after you click purchase that you cannot back out of. More importantly, they demand a 25% restocking fee if you try to cancel the order even though they have not shipped or delivered the product. Avoid them at all costs, take screen shots of the entire process to document the scam and notify the FTC, Newark, DE police department of the scam, the BBB, and the Postal Inspection Service of the scam as well as dispute the charges with your credit card company. Ask your credit card to block as fraudulent any and all charges from this company. Ask can be seen from the many complaints the products are of dubious quality and any positive reports are more likely than not are AI bot generated.

Hi Christopher,

Thank you for reaching out. I understand your frustration, and I want to clear up what's happened here because our checkout process is designed to be transparent and straightforward at every step.

Our website clearly displays all pricing and membership details before you complete your purchase. The order summary, which includes the subtotal, any membership you've opted into, shipping, and the final total, is shown on the checkout page before you click to confirm. Nothing is added after you authorize payment. If you enrolled in the Warm Table Circle membership, that's a program presented during checkout with full details, including pricing and billing terms, and it requires an active opt-in. The total you saw at checkout is exactly what you agreed to pay. Regarding our cancellation policy, all orders are custom-fulfilled, which means they enter production immediately. Our Terms of Service, which are presented at checkout, explain that cancellations after purchase are subject to a restocking fee to cover the costs already incurred. This policy is disclosed before you complete your order, and it applies whether or not the item has physically shipped, because production and fulfillment have already begun. This is standard practice for made-to-order goods and is in place to protect the business from the real costs of cancellations.

I also want to address your concerns about our product quality and reviews. Every Auntie Rue cutting board is made from premium titanium sourced from Seki, Japan, a region world-renowned for precision metalwork. Titanium is naturally non-porous, meaning bacteria truly cannot penetrate the surface, and it's lightweight, dishwasher-safe, and built to last a lifetime. Our customer reviews are authentic and reflect the real experiences of thousands of happy home cooks. We're proud of the quality we deliver, and we stand behind every board we make.

Christopher, I'd love the chance to make this right and ensure you're completely taken care of. Please reach out directly to our team at support@auntierue.com, and we'll work with you to resolve any outstanding concerns. We're here to help and we're confident we can find a solution that works for you.

Didn't really appreciate being pestered after not completing the purchase process. I started to purchase then hesitated. Y'all seem like that bothered you. At least I assume that after calling, texting, and emailing me about an incomplete purchase. Just hope the cutting are as good as y'all say.

The board is nice

The board is nice. I did notice it does not rinse off as cleanly as claimed and certain things are harder to remove and require the scrubbing side of a sponge. For example, even lemon juice needed to be scrubbed off and it was right after cutting the lemon, it wasn't dried on.
Another thing is that I can see knife marks on the board already and this makes me wonder if I am now getting micro pieces of titanium in my food.

From ordering to delivery I was updated throughout.
Of course I just had to use my titanium cutting board for the first time, after delivery( washed with soap and water before use actually).
Smooooth, none of the cuts and groves left behind on my wooden cutting board.
Thank you AuntieRue personnel for my new kitchen useful tool.

CUSTOMER FRIENDLY COMPANY!!!

When I purchased a set of titanium cutting boards from Auntie Rue, the product was delivered promptly and well protected. Response to my later technical question to customer service was
the best, fastest, thorough and most satisfactory that I ever have experienced. Antie Rue rates ten stars from me!

Ordering was easy

Ordering was easy. Once the order was placed, I was able to track the package. Shipping seemed a bit slow to me but eventually the package arrived at our door. Please to find protective packaging that cushioned the cutting board to prevent damage. The quality of the board was as expected and we use this cutting board on a daily basis. Happy with our purchase.

Boards look nothing like the pictures…

Boards look nothing like the pictures on the website. They come wrapped in a few things of plastic and are very rough around the edges. They feel like they can slice and cut your fingers. Definitely not what I expected. Of course refunds are denied unless damaged, because you agree to it at checkout. They should be called Auntie Ruse, it appears to be more of a bait and switch.

Don't waste your time or money.

**Now they are threatening me with debt collections since I disputed the charge with my Credit Card Company because what is pictured on the website doesn't match what is received.

Hi Timothy,

I understand your frustration, and I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. That said, I want to set the record straight on a few important points so future customers have the full picture.

Our cutting boards are genuine titanium sourced from Seki, Japan, and everything shown on our website accurately represents what we sell. The boards are precisely cut to the dimensions listed on the product page, and they're wrapped in protective plastic to ensure they arrive safely. As for the edges, new titanium boards can feel sharp to the touch right out of the packaging — that's completely normal and not a defect. Titanium is a harder material than wood or plastic, and the edges naturally soften with regular use and washing. This is a characteristic of the material itself, not a quality issue. What you're getting is a truly non-porous surface that bacteria can't penetrate, a board that's dishwasher-safe, lightweight, and built to last a lifetime — those are the real advantages of titanium, and they're exactly what we deliver.

Regarding our refund policy, it's clearly stated during checkout and agreed to before purchase. We stand behind the quality of our boards, and refunds are available for damaged or defective items. A new board with edges that feel sharp isn't damaged — it's simply how titanium arrives before it's been used and cared for over time. That policy is in place to protect both our business and our customers, and it's applied consistently and fairly.

I'd genuinely like to make sure you're taken care of. If you'd like to discuss this further or if there's something specific we can do to help, please email our team at support@auntierue.com and we'll work with you directly. We're not in the business of tricking anyone — we're a small team proud of what we make, and we're always happy to answer questions and ensure every customer understands exactly what they're receiving.

I was a bit leery at first

I was a bit leery at first because the board was being shipped from China. An excellent customer service person, Sarah, helped me make my decision. She advised me what to look for in a cutting board. I even checked my 15 yr old board (made of plastic something) to confirm that mine was wrought with what is probably nasty stuff as indicated in their customer information.
Once I had all the information needed, I made the purchase. I'm not a cutting board type person - my son lives with me and does most of the cooking and he loves it. I tried it once and I was impressed. I have no complaints about shipping, or the product and would recommend the cutting board made of titanium to anyone looking for a new board!

The cutting board cleans nicely as advertised. I have not gotten used to the feel of cutting metal on metal - less grip than plastic or wood. The knives I ordered seem nice, but it is too early to judge them. I did not appreciate the tortuous checkout process with upselling.
