Those caps are really annoying and don't contribute to the validity of your argument. I'm trying to buy some Christmas presents and looking for serious reviews, and yours really isn't helpful. It reminds me of a 12 year old throwing a tantrum which makes it hard for me to take it seriously.

Does anyone else have a review of King of Swords? I've seen multiple complaints about them and scamming, but I'm kinda iffy on all of them. Paranoid enough to likely not use King of Swords, but regardless, I am still interested in a proper review.

Thanks for your time

Note from the Better Business Bureau the company's name is Millennium Empire. You can scroll down the link and see that the king of swords website is just one of their many sites.

For those who don't follow the link, I'll put this here for reference:

MY COMPLAINT SOUNDS LIKE A TANTRUM CAUSE ITS IN CAPITALS(UNFORTUNATELY IM PARTIALLY BLIND)AND READ BETTER/WRITE BETTER IN CAPITALS....IF YOU WISH TO SHOP KING OF SWORDS BE MY GUEST...I WAS SIMPLY WARNING OTHERS OF WHAT I WISHED I COULD HAVE KNOWN ,PRIOR TO LOOSING ALL THAT MONEY TO THEIFS....PEOPLE WHOM ARE DISRESPECTFUL...SHOULD NOT EVEN BOTHER POSTING THEIR COMMENTS...OR READING MINE....EXCUSE ME.....MARGARET

Wasn't rude
by: Anonymous

I posted the BBB thing afterward, so say what you want. I was just trying to let you know that other people might not be taking your posts serious. They might be, they might not. Just it's a possibility.

You need to remember that just because something is posted up doesn't mean it's accurate. There was nothing in your post that really helped me know if you had a legitimate complaint or if you were just spreading false rumors about them. I was wanting clarification.

Another Customer Screwed by the King

Avoid King of Swords At All Costs
by: Charles C

It may be impossible to shut him down, but at least don't fall into the trap yourself or let any of your friends fall into it.

I almost got scammed but found out in time and stopped the payment. If you don't believe me by all means go ahead and pour your money down a rat hole if you'd like. It's your money.

But for everyone else, you have been warned.

This is sad, I am yet another person who was told the merchandise that was advertised was not even in stock, it probably never was. After they had my money of course! Luckily it wasn't as such as some good folks got taken for but these people need to be run out of business. How much more info do they need? How many more good people have to loose their
hard earned money to these greedy, greedy criminals?

How is this company getting away with this for so many years?? They took my son in laws money and ran. Now he does not exist. No call back, no money back and no product.

These people are criminal - not just scam artists
by: Roland

I ordered from this company as well, and after the runaround that most people receive, I filed a complaint with Visa. I was credited the amount, then shortly after that, King of Swords credited me as well. Great right? After I notified Visa to reverse the charges as the vendor had issued a refund - i receive another Visa charge from these guys again. They should be in jail, and not just out of business.

BE WARNED! Avoid this company like the plague.

2. they couldn't get the sword from the manufacturer.

3. couldn't tell me when to expect it.

4. I canceled the order.

5. haven't heard from them since despite a bunch of emails and phone calls.

This company has a large number of web sites! Obviously a need to have so many different company names is an indication that something is not good about this company.

It sounds like one of the partners has moved out of Georgia to try and hide from the BBB complaints that have been filed against them.

Contact your local Prosecuting Attorney and or Attorney General for your state. This company is wrought with fraud!

If it's of any help...
by: Seneca

I posted this in another thread, but I copy-paste it to make sure it reaches more people.

... Hello everyone. I'm not sure if it will help anybody, but I'll tell my case just in case it does.

I made an order to them some time ago and, like everyone else, I was scammed. They did'nt even respond to my mails. After a year waiting, I emailed them (from the website and from various mail accounts just to make sure they read it) telling them I found out where they are (Cobb County) and tell them I found in the county website the name and mail adresses of people in charge of businsess licenses. I'le tell them, they had a week to return me the money, or I would assume that my money was lost and make everything at my hand to get them closed. They answered THE DAY AFTER telling and in a week I had my money back.

P.S.I.: I can't find the names I gave in the mails, but maybe they're not even still in charge, but it's easy to find in the web of Cobb County.

P.S.I 2: I'm spanish, so please excuse me for my english.

Just another complaint
by: Anonymous

Thank God I didnt buy a sword - just a stand. It's been about three months since I ordered it and to my surprise it actually arrived. Wow! The quality of the stand was every bit as poor as the service and shipping time. Bar far the worst company I have dealt with online. Anybody notice that once you enter your credit card information, there is no way to remove it? Hmmm... That should be a sign right there.

Apex Resource Group
by: anonymous

I am not a vicious x-wife, I am someone who was scammed by this company and expects a refund of my money! I did a search online as suggested by people on here and found this company.

They are claiming that they are not associated with the company, but here is a quote from their web site.

If they are not associated, how did they know about this forum? And why did they leave Georgia and move to Indiana if not to hide?

http://www.apexresourcegroup.com/shipping.php?osCsid=61dca4b091338277fcaca1dd46857bc4

Refunds:
If you paid by credit or debit card, our merchant bank will mark your payment or refund your credit/debit card account in the name of King of Swords. If you made your purchase from one of our affiliated businesses such as King of Ponds or Empire Pets, this is the name that will appear on your credit card statement. Please scrutinize your credit card bill carefully for this name and the amount of your purchase. Refunds usually appear on the credit card statement in the credit card cycle that begins after your order has been placed with us, or the one thereafter. That means if you place an order in January, your refund will likely appear in your credit card statement in February or March.

Location:
We are located in Marietta, Georgia. If you are nearby, and your merchandise is in Marietta (sometimes is is drop-shipped by manufacturer), it is sometimes possible to arrange to come to our Marietta location and pick up your merchandise and save shipping expense and perhaps even get your merchandise sooner. Please contact us if this is possible to make arrangements.

Well viscious ex wife, ApexRG is not the same as king of swords. King of swords is just another vendor they use.

their catalog is incorporated into ours as many othrs are. That does not mean we are the same company.

You can say whatever you like about other companies but if you continue to disparage Apex, we will file suit and take everything you stole from me in the divorce in the first place.

Chew on that for alittle while, you moron

I order from them
by: Paul

Sure it's a hassle to buy there items, and maybe they don't return money but you "DO" get your item. King Of Swords its pretty busy and they don't have the item when you order it so if its not in well..your going to have to replace it. It takes some time to get somethings that's actually in stock.

This is just what i think but im pretty sure alot of people expect them to email them the info on there items but you have to sign onto the site and look at your order history. Then you click on your order and scroll down. Everything going on with your order is there. I mid purchase right now, i ordered it two months ago. A long time, definitely are they scamming me? No. This isn't my first order either i have a decent history with them usually its a lot more organized if you just order 1 item but shipping prices are a problem.

Contact me at: Vincent-123@live.co.uk I understand they don't give you your money back but a little threat and some information can get you it.

busy?
by: Seneca

You say they are busy? No way. It wasn't two months for me, I waited for more than a year, and I started asking for my money after 6 months. You've been luck or you have some interests with them... but yes, they are scammers. There is plenty of people who NEVER get their items or their money and that it's not something that can be explained with a "we're busy" or their greatest hit "customs are holding your items"

Response
by: Paule

Just search Cobb County. Thats where they are and from there you can find there names (New people working there so i can't help you there). Once you get there names you can simply threaten them. Tons of people have done this when they didn't get there money back. But there not responding? is it www.kingofswords.com because they seem perfect for me. When my items out of stock which it almost always is i send in what i want in replacement they respond and update me and it eventually arrives. My longest order was 5 months.

Vincent-123@live.co.uk

by: Anonymous

I also buy from them, and have no problems at all, its true they do not return money, but you eventually get your item unless the manufacturer runs out.

I think they are pretty good

Still at it
by: Paul

Don't you all think it's about time to put this behind you? Even if you do manage to put them out of business they'll call bankrupt before even half of you get your money back and then it will be forgotten about and you'll never get it. If the point is to prevent newer people to the site from getting scammed well..we aren't having any problems with it as I've said before you can just threaten them rather then having thousands of forums made.

Vincent-123@live.co.uk

¿?
by: Seneca

No, it's not time to put it behind me because I got my money back, as you said, threatening them... it's the only way because, you know, they are nothing but thieves.

The point of this forums is avoid other people being scammed by this bunch of thieves. Everyone making a search on google before buying could find plenty of people informing about it, and that is the idea.

Covering their behinds

If you read the posts on here, the one guy has links to the company and says its his x-wife beating up the company and that none of it is true.

Others are trying to convince everyone that they are a good company, just a little slow.

Anyone notice a pattern here? This company is apparently trying to discredit all those who are posting here by making it out like it is no big deal and blame it on an x-wife. Seriously?

It would not surprise me if they are all the same person.

The best way to ensure that the complaints are heard loud and clear is to turn it over to the Prosecutor, the Attorney General, and the Feds.

After all, there are very definite laws that govern this sort of stuff. The guy is saying that maybe they do not have it in stock when they sell it. Check with your credit card company, it states very clearly that for a vendor to take orders, they must meet certain terms. Obviously, these guys are playing a game to try and keep you from filing a claim in the allotted time frame and keeping their charge backs down by lulling people. Do not buy into it. Those laws are there to protect you. Make sure you know your rights!

we are the same person

Also having hard time with refund
by: Anonymous

ordered item on 2/17/11...waited and was informed that after 14 business days it was not available from their "source". Proceeded to cancel my order. I have emailed them several times and called the phone number that came with the charge on my bank statement which is out of order when you call. They will respond to some emails, others they do not. The claim to be forwarding my account to the "accounting dept". I made a final demand for my refund and heard nothing. I have now contacted my bank who will investigate and get my money back for me. Do not order from this dealer. Stick with amazon!!!!!

kingofswords.com rip-off site
by: DENNIS

I was ripped off by them for 2 swords. Did not deliver, and no refund. Phones disconnected, and won't answer emails. Also operates as truetigersales.com on amazon and ebay.

Perhaps it's time for a lawsuit?
by: J.B.M.

I've read through the comments here, and did a little research of my own. I was curious as to whether this had only happened to me, having had my order claimed as "Unavailable/back-ordered" through their supplier. I, too, cancelled my order and asked for a refund. I had the good fortune of having quite a few of my emails answered by one of the sales representatives (I assume), to the tune of "We do not know why it is taking so long for your refund.", in so many words. Finally, after about six months, I started threatening legal action and got my final email from the KOS team. Essentially, they said it was not their fault, and if I wished to receive my refund then I should inform my bank to file some type of form as a means of refunding my purchase. Naturally, I went to my bank and spoke with the manager about this...even going so far as to show them the emailed response. The paperwork they had alleged would solve the issue did not exist. These are criminals, people...and it seems they have stolen thousands of dollars. I think it's time we start speaking a language these crooks understand...money talks.

I have filed a battle against kingofswords.com
by: Anonymous Sword Buyer

I also made a purchase that wasn't completed from kingofswords.com. I have sent an email to both abuse@softlayer.com (the web host) and abuse@godaddy.com (the registrar) informing them that they have a client that is taking advantage of people in such a criminal manner. It has become my vendetta to shut this site down. Please support the cause and also send your personal emails to the above addresses to help get these crooks put to rest.

KOS needs shut down!
by: pissed off KOS customer

I am another one of their "customers" who got ripped off. The following is the online order status. This doesn't include all the separate e-mails I've sent them or the phone calls I made to their phone numbers which you never get a "live person"...leave a message and they will get back with you. What a joke! They never return your calls:

08/16/2010 Order accepted
09/08/2010 We apologize for the delay in shipping your order and for the inconvenience.We are having a problem getting restocked by our supplier due to the item being backordered by the manufacturer. Let us know if you want to continue to wait. (I immediately responded that I would wait...stupid me!)
09/09/2010 Thank you for your patience.
12/09/2010 Canceled Your order has been canceled per your request. A refund will be issued to you as soon as possible.

Kind Regards,

King of Swords
(After waiting almost 4 months for the sword to arrive, I finally canceled my order.)
01/11/2011 Thank you for your inquiry.

Your e-mail has been forwarded to our accounting department with a request to have your refund processed as quickly as possible. When your refund has been processed you will receive a confirmation email.

Kind Regards,

King of Swords
(This was their reply after I sent them numerous e-mails regarding my refund that I never received.)

I've reported them to FTC and BBB which has done no good. I am still without my refund. Not to mention the fact that they are still obviously scamming people daily! The date is currently June 22, 2011 and I have once again sent an e-mail to them regarding my refund. With all these consumer complaints against this company, you would think there would be consumer protection and they would get put out of business. They need to be held responsible for all of us they have scammed!


e-mail to GoDaddy.com
by: pissed off KOS customer

In response to "Anonymous Sword Buyer" above, I feel the same and will do all that I can to help shut these scam artists down! I have recently submitted an e-mail to abuse@godaddy.com:

GoDaddy.com:

You currently have a client (kingofswords.com) who is ripping people off. They accept orders, do not fill them and when orders are canceled, the money is not being refunded. This is fraudulent, considering the fact they knowingly do this repeatedly. They have numerous complaints all over the web along with many submitted to BBB for their fraudulent behavior. I am only one of 100's they've scammed. Also, a search on your site under Legal Agreement: Web Store Prohibited Items Policy, one of your prohibited items is weapons. The majority of what King Of Swords sells is "weapons". Swords, knives, daggers, spears, stun guns, throwing stars, and throwing knives all with sharp points and edges. Even an automatic pistol that fires BB's. Basic definition of all the mentioned items is a weapon. Another one of your prohibited items is: Illegal items and items that encourage, promote, facilitate or instruct others to engage in illegal activity. King Of Swords sells lock picks. This product does encourage, promote and facilitate illegal activity. How can you possibly condone or promote this business?

Sincerely,
Dragon Euphoria

Another complaint submitted

I had already previously months ago filed a complaint with FTC and BBB about King OF Swords. A few minutes ago, I just filed a complaint with Internet Crime Complaint Center: https://complaint.ic3.gov

Update from GoDaddy.com
by: pissed off KOS customer

I had recently sent in a complaint to GoDaddy regarding King Of Swords who I thought was one of their clients. Turns out not so. Here is the response I received back from them:

I followed their above steps and SoftLayer Technologies is instead their hosting provider. A similar complaint e-mail was sent to them regarding King Of Swords fraudulent behavior: abuse@softlayer.com

E-mail response back from SoftLayer

The following is SoftLayer's response to my e-mail:

This is pathetic that no one really seems to care and continues to allow King Of Swords to continue ripping people off.

e-mail response from King Of Swords
by: pissed off KOS customer

I recently e-mailed (2/22/2011) King Of Swords once again regarding my refund:

It has been six months since you told me that my e-mail has been forwarded to your accounting department with a request to have my refund processed as quickly as possible. You still haven't sent my refund to me. Do you have any intentions whatsoever refunding my money?

This is what King Of Swords replied back with the following day:

Hi,


Effective as of June 2nd, 2011, 3:57pm EST.
The owner of The Millennium Empire Corp. dba King of Swords
has retired due to health reasons. A heart attack late last year
and recent health issues have forced retirement before able to
close the business accordingly. All orders placed prior to the
above date should recall their payments by dispute with their
credit card provider. There is a large reserve to refund all outstanding
orders placed prior so your refund will occur quickly. Going forward all
orders placed after the above date and time will be handled by new owner
and management, Divine Lion LLC. Please notify us if you have paid via
an alternate method such as check or money order so refunds can
be handled appropriately.

What a load of crap this is!! "Effective June 2nd"?? Something has to be able to get done to stop these thieves!!!

Nothing has changed with KOS
by: Brassed off Limey

Hello everybody, to my shame I didn't check the reputation of the King of Swords website before I ordered from them - same story as many others, my item wasn't in stock then it was "held up at customs" - 6 months later after losing my (considerable) patience I was told I would be refunded... that was in August 2010 - I'm still waiting for my money back and it's now mid July 2011, of course they have now stopped responding to my emails. If anybody has any doubts please take it from me DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THIS SITE it is (in my experience) 100% blatently fraudulent and I'm horrified that the website is still active and available... somebody must be able to stop these criminals surely :O

got frakked
by: Doug

I wish I had looked them up before ordering, it has been 3 weeks since I ordered. They took my payment and haven't heard anything since, sent a couple of E-mails and still nothing. After looking them up on google, I'm thinking it's time for a class action suit. Apparently the BBB won't do anything about this, So I will.
Randomnamehere@msn.com
Any and all information would be appreciated, let's take them down!

Slow and no communication
by: Jon

But I did eventually receive what I had ordered. Not sure I would order from them again but at least I wasn't scammed as some have posted on various boards. I had sent 2 emails requesting status updates while I was waiting for my merchandise but they did not reply at all.

Quality: 7
Service: 4
Delivery: 3

Appeased but not thrilled
by: Doug

I ordered the farscape pulse pistol resin replica kit. 3 weeks, multiple E-mails, and even a threat later nothing. No response of any kind. Decided to look up the company on the internet, and found many scathing reviews, filed a complaint with the BBB. 2 days later received my order at last, 2 parts of 3. The third part wasn't essential but would have been nice to have. Reported the incident as resolved with the BBB. Still have not heard anything from KOS. I do not recommend this place, even though it worked out for me eventually.

king of swords NEW
by: Anonymous

just starting my second week of waiting for product. Unfortunately had not checked reviews before ordering, otherwise i definitely would not have ordered from them. as for their claims stated earlier that the business had shut down, that is false. I ordered Don Quijote Spanish Rapier 41" w/Scabbard which was supposedly added to their catalog on monday the 10th of october 2011. i placed the order on december 22nd 2011, and it is currently january 3 2012. I have yet to recieve shipping conformation on the product. will continue to update with results.

I , too have been skunked by King of Swords NEW
by: Heather Goad

On the eve of January 1st, 2012 I attempted to order a stun gun for my girlfriends Mother. It wouldnt let me pay for it and have it shipped to her addy. It never gave a confirmation # so I assumed it did not go thru. I ended up going to a different site and ordered the same exact one for about $10 cheaper. Today {Jan. 5th, 2012} I was online looking at my bank account and low and behold there was a charge of $34.97 for this stun gun that they said they COULDNT process taken out of my account. I sure wish I would have read the reviews before attempting to order from this site. I already called the bank and I have to wait for it to be processed before I can get my money back! I also attempted to call the number that was on my bak statement and it puts you on hold for about 30 seconds then says to leave a message and someone will get back to you! HUH! O-KAY! Guess we'll see!

Good service from King of Swords NEW
by: Annie F

Well, I have to say I ordered from King of Swords at the end of November 2011, and had email contact with Scott from KoS who seemed helpful. But once my payment was processed I heard nothing for three weeks and started to get nervous and then came across a lot of negative reviews which made me feel stressed. I emailed Scott and said I had read a lot of bad reviews and was really worried, as I had $19 in my bank account and two children to care for. I received a response to say my items would be shipped by the end of the week. And I picked them up today from the post office, everything exactly as ordered. So even though it was delayed (I had hoped to get the swords as a present for Christmas) they arrived. I AM HAPPY with King of Swords. And no I am no relation to Scott. And by the way I live in Australia, so I'm not even located close to the business.
