2 people on customer service : the manager was very good, but the employee was not very professionnal, though sympathetic. Delivery seems to have been triggered because I phoned them. However good experience and good service overall. Would buy again if needed.

Waited for my order way too long - I was told it will be ready in 2 months (because of supply problems) and it took 3 months. Communication with customers is also trash, when I got answer form my mail with a neasrly month delay. Atl least the product I ordered is fine.

Good adaptability to change our orders in function of what they have, gear is quite good, might wish for two things: indications of which piece is compatible with wich, and maybe keep a bit more stock

Good products at a competitive price. The order took a bit of time to be completed, but given the supply difficulties, it was expected.

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

Lost my order in the system and didn't respond to emails for several months. Had to go through the manufacturer before I had a response from the company. Once contact was made, response was quick but experience was frustrating and not their usual standard

It took very long time for my order to be delivered, little more than four months instead of six weeks, and it was hard to get in touch with support. They didn’t respond to e-mail, messenger or on the website, I hade to write on facebook in order to get their attention.

They're a good provider of HEMA gear, be it protections or weapons simulators, with a rather large choice for more than just longsword. What their customer support lacks in response time (which can absolutely be forgiven in current pandemic era) they absolutely make up for in their care to satisfy customers. Haven't hesitated to order again, and recommend them to my club mates.

Althoug i chose for bank transfer the payment went verry swiftly. And they have a track & trace option for non registered clients. It took a bit before the real transport started but i received my package overall in good time.

They are always very friendly when they respond, which is practically never. Expect to not get a reply for months and to have to call them multiple times before they pick up.

I really like the concept of leather sandwiched between two plastic plates; it absorbs shocks better on both the long and short edges. The price is also very reasonable. My one issue is the grip and guard both need an extra rivet as the plastic is not fully adhered to the leather. It appears they've compensated for this with black duct tape on the guard, but that doesn't look or feel like a particularly solid solution. There are also some sharp edges on the plastic around the handle. Overall, it's a good idea and a decent product that requires a bit of refinement.

Nothing to say about the quality of the products, however nearly 3 months delay on delivery with no response to my many emails, it's still very limited, not very serious as sellers

Excellent customer service despite major raw materials shortage, and great products delivered. I can tell that the SPES Heavy gauntlets and Black Armoury's own "DoHEMA" Tournament mask and accessories are very strong, heavy-duty equipment. One problem is that, on top of the price of the goods and shipping, I was not notified that I would have to pay very large customs tax and VAT at the UK border. I would have liked to know this *before* ordering items so I could plan my budget accordingly. By the time my second shipment arrived, I will have had to pay almost £200 to get my equipment through the Border Force.
Response from Black Armoury
Dear Andrew, I am very sorry for the UK duties and taxes you were levied. Indeed, since BREXIT came into force, all shipments from the EU to the UK are imports. We will try to make the post-BREXIT situation for UK orders clearer on the website (it's true that at the moment this to obligation to pay import duties and taxes for customers outside the EU are "buried" in our Terms and Conditions). Kind regards, Anthony

the selection on the store is wide, the prices are good compared to other sites, the interaction with the customer support was not optimal (reason of the missing fifth star). this miscommunication can be due to the overload of the time frame but still it's a point that can be improved.
