When I bought products, they were waiting for restock. First, I asked when they would be able to get the products. They named the date, and I did a purchase according to it. Naturally I was expecting a delay, so I mailed them, but they didn't answer. I did think it was due to their holiday, so I waited but they still ignored me afterwards. I sent a message to their Instagram account about unanswered mails, but they kept saying that they are not answering about order issues via Instagram direct message. I tried to explain that I didn't write about the order, that instead I was writing about unanswered mails but they started to answer with templates. After months they answered, and they apologized about the inconvenience and added that they’ve just hired a new employee. Finally, they sent my order BUT products that arrived to me were defective. I tried to stab on a gambeson to see the rigidity and flexibility of one of the partisans. The very first partisan I have tried instantaneously snapped with a sound of broken branch. Now I am afraid to try other ones in the same way and I am pretty sure that they will snap with any thrust. Each piece has certain waves and veins on it creating weak spots. Also, rigidity of each piece is different, one of them is almost floppy like a synthetic longsword, I don’t have confidence to try but it looks like it can easily withstand a 90+ degrees bending, the other feels like Arcem Syntactic Halberd that a friend of mine has, most rigid one is one that snapped, bent was barely 20-degree angle. That is enough to be broken even during slow work if your partner takes a step forward. The plastic of the broken pieces is not homogeneous and there is clearly a piece of white/translucent plastic inside of it. I sent them another email for possible solutions and again they ignored the issue with their new employee. They didn't even say that they can't offer a solution.

From my own experience, I know the problem with delivery difficulties. Of course, a 4-month wait is long. But we are all in the same boat. Gladly I order again from you. Keep going, and above all hold out.

My order with Black Armoury went whitout a hitch. Communications were very good, and the staff were wery solution oriented when I didn't notice that the feder was on back order. It was my own fault of course, but they offered to send another one with a different coloured handle, which I of course accepted. From there on it took only a week before I had in my hands here in Norway I would not hesitate to return to Black Armoury for more HEMA equipment.

Dear friends! Unfortunately, I made a big mistake. I didn't read other customer reviews before placing my order. I was deceived by the beautiful and user-friendly site, as well as the interesting and large selection of products. The concept of good and quality service for this store is completely absent! The seller does not get in touch with his client! This was the case when ordering my product (the status did not change for several weeks after payment) and I was not given any comments and answers to my requests. And the exact same situation when I encountered a low-quality product. The seller is just in eternal silence mode.... My advice - think very carefully before contacting this store!!! And if you decide to buy something from them, be prepared that you will be completely ignored!
Response from Black Armoury
Dear Vladimirs, First let me apologise profusely for your experience. You are absolutely correct that customer service has been dismal recently. I will not make excuses, simply I am very sorry for this. While we HAVE been completely submerged, and have suffered from technical communication glitches (as you can see, at least the review process is functioning correctly), I am addressing this : 1) We have contracted our agency to fully rework the communication tools to ensure all incoming and outgoing messages, from all sources, are seen and sent. 2) I have a new person joining us in October who will be dedicated full time to customer service. Very soon, this situation will NOT happen again. Concerning your gloves, indeed it seems that you have received a defective pair. This model of glove has been used for several years, including in our local club, with very few issues. I can either replace the damaged pair, or if you prefer refund you. Please let me know. I’m sending you my direct email address so you are sure I receive your response correctly. Again, I am very sorry for your poor experience. Kind regards, Anthony

Blackarmoury is a good site for AMHE practitioners, it's reliable and of quality. The seller is nice and sent me a spearhead to apologize for a stock problem. In short, Black Armoury is good :)

I Ordered the Items 1 month before a tournament, so that i could use them at the tournament but the Ordered pieces didnt arrive in time, When i tried to contact black armoury about the status of my order it was very difficult to reach them ( I had paid in advance so info about the order was important to me). when the pieces finaly arrived they where in good condition. black armoury left a note in the parcel that they would give me a slight refund for my trouble, so i wrote them and gave them the relevant information 3 times, but again i havent heard back from them and have not gotten the promised refund even 2 months after the order finaly arrived. because of all those problems i cant leave a good review, but the products themselves are very good.
Response from Black Armoury
Hello David, and thank you for the feedback. You are absolutely right, we have not been up to our standards the last few months. The general complex situation was worsened for us by some internal technical issues (communication and stock synchronisation) that are thankful finally being resolved by our tech agency. I have just refunded you 40€ on the order via bank transfer. I am very sorry for the delay, and for the frustration. Kind regards, Anthony
