Empathic with clients, they add a final touch with a card and wish. Was not expecting so.

I would like to give them more stars because they are nice, but there were several downfalls that just shouldn't have occurred. I had a large order for over 500 euro. When I submitted it online, the website said it was processing. That sounds great. What they didn't do was tell me that they did not have the mask overlay, and that they were going to hold the rest of my order until it came in. Weeks came and went, while they held all the rest of the gear, including the most expensive stuff that I needed most (fencing mask) without telling me anything. For that much money, the least they can do is keep you informed on the status of your order. I had to email them three or four times just to get a status update! Several of my requests for information went unanswered for days or even weeks. I could have simply canceled the one item, gotten it elsewhere, and had the most important gear two months sooner. But you better believe they wanted the bill paid in full and up front, of course. Once I finally got through to their customer service, they were nice and helpful, and shipped all the items that were in stock, and then the last item separately, without charging extra shipping. They even included hand-written notes in each box apologizing. That is very kind, but I would still rather have not wasted a month or two where I could not spar simply because they couldn't respond to my email. In the end, I got everything I paid for, and it is very good gear. Their prices are high, and since my order was international, shipping and taxes were also high. I bought from them for speed, because according to their website, it looked like everything was in stock. They need to keep their website updated, and inform their customers better. But they are fair and try to do the right thing.
Response from Black Armoury
Hello Jordon, and thank you for the review. You are perfectly correct and fair in your assessment : our customer service, especially proactive order information, is lacking. We are working to fix that. There are also some stock synchronisation issues on the website. We're currently working on rebuilding the website and e-commerce systems to give much better visibility of available stock at the time of order, as well as at check-out time. The updated website will also make it a lot easier to request partial delivery of in-stock items, and separate shipping, or cancelation and refund, of the outstanding items. Sorry again for the trouble. I do hope you'll give us another chance to "get it right" in the future. Have a lovely holiday season. Kind regards, Anthony

It is extraordinarly light for a weapon of it's width, balanced towards the hardware (which is a feature I personally prefer in weapons, as I feel I can control the blade better,that's just me though :p) it's very quick in the hands, yet it feels hefty, in a satisfactory way. Probably one of the quickest weapons I have ever handled. Short as the historical examples are, though that's one of the reasons why I like the type 14s. Very much a "get in your face" kinda weapon which suits me just fine.

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

Black Armory has been a real pleasure to stumble upon. They carry some very nice, unique, and cutting edge items not found easily and they ship to the United States! Its a small personal touch, but each order came with a hand signed thank you card. I found this to be a rare treat among such a busy and automated order world. Its nice to know that my order is personally handled with care. Thank you Black Armory!

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
