Swordsswords.com...........Questionable.

by Robert Pero
(Lutz, Fl.)

My first expierience with them was decent. Pretty fast shipping......crappy packaging. It was Ok though.....my sword wasnt hurt in any way. The next time was a replica Blade sword of the daywalker. It arrived fairly quickly only to open it and find rust on the blade. I was not too happy. I called them about 4 times before somebody answered. They said no problem......to leave it in its shipping box and UPS would pick it back up. once they recieved the damaged sword they would ship out another. Ok....a few days went by...they emailed me with a tracking number. Another Blade sword arrived and what did I find..........rust again. I called again and they had me repeat the same process. The third time wasnt a charm for me. RUST AGAIN!!!!!! I called and this time the customer service guy sounded annoyed and gave me excuses for rust on the blade due to overseas shipping....blah...blah...blah. He told me to use steel wool and oil to remove it. that wasnt going to work for me. Finally finally we came to an agreement.........my credit card was creditited the amount (it was on the statement...so it was legit) and I used that money to order the same exact sword form Trueswords.com.

Guess what......thiers didnt have any rust.....lol.

So all in all......Swordsswords.com does have very nice prices.....but its a crapshoot. You dont know whats going to be in that box.

swordswords.com not bad could be better
by: Arvald

I ordered a Kukri from them, it was the carbon steel one not that peice of crap with holes in the blade. came in good packaging, and got here fast, when i took the sword out of the box id did have some rust on it which wasnt a big deal to me i cleaned it up fairly quickly, but the tip of the blade was severly messed up, like someone tried to stab a thick peice of metal with it.

managed to get the tip fixed with several hours of work on a sharpening stone, it was only 20 bucks so i suppose i cant complain much as it is an awesome tool, nice and sturdy and replaced my axe and large knife when camping. all in all they are not bad but could be better, very good for if your short on cash.

year and a half later... where is it?
by: Valik

I ordered two swords from them, both of them bleach swords. I got the first one and the other one was on back-order. I then get a call one day saying that they did not know when they would get a new one and asked me if I wanted to wait for it to come in or get a refund. I asked for a refund. I waited about a week and never got one. So I emailed them I believe 3 times and was ignored. I then called them and they never picked up. So here I am almost a year and a half later and I get an email that it was finally shipped, though I did not receive a tracking number. Ok I thought what the hell at least I will get my money's worth. HA! I should have known better. It has been almost 3 weeks since the email telling me it was shipped, yet there is no sword at my house, I know UPS ground doesn't take that long to deliver. So I have spent the better part of an hour today emailing them with no response and trying to call them. Well I have called their toll free number probably 8 times now and the local number once and no one has picked up. I wish I had never done business with them.

Scam. Enough said.
by: John

I ordered a Senbonzakura Carbon Steel sword (made from the Bleach Anime series) and a Birds Around The Sakura Tree (also carbon steel). I paid around $75 or so for them and when they arrive, it turns out they are Stainless steel. To test this theory, i removed all oil and whatnot from the blade and left them in a corner of my room. not once ounce of rust. Carbon steel rusts EASILY unless liberally applied with oil. Swordsswords.com is a scam and they shouldnt be trusted.

Never Had any Trouble with them.
by: Anonymous

I have been doing business with swordsswords.com for about 2 years now. I have placed many orders and have had my fair share or wrong orders shipped, damaged products, rusted blades etc. But on the flip side I have had about 95% of my orders shipped correctly and promptly with no problems (even got a free bracelet once). I love their service and products. For the price I am paying I believe that I am getting an amazing deal. Also I never had a problem with the customer service.

live and learn
by: Anonymous

for the two that got taken with refunds or bad supplies, it's simple, don't order from them anymore. live and learn. to the one who did get his order, common sense , if you got your order and it was in good condition, yes, they are stainless steel, so why did you remove the oil and protection from it then let it sit in the corner and let it rust?? it came to you in good condition, you stripped it and ruined it yourself. it had nothing to do with them. so my advise would be if it's not broken, don't fix it. next time maybe you'll leave the oil on it. live and learn.

wool won't work
by: Anonymous

this one's for robert pero, don't ever take steel wool of any kind on a sword blade. no matter what anyone says. he was giving you excuses for your order and he made you ruin your own product on purpose.

DON'T BUT FROM THIS COMPANY
by: Ken

The products are inferior, the service is bad and they charge a re-stocking fee of 25% even on defective items (that will not stick) and would issue a call tag for bad products. When the items arrived (throwing stars) one was missing, there was no invoice or packing slip. There was not a catalog to purchase additional products, which at this point I would never buy from this company or tell anyone to buy from this company. This company is bad to do business with! Save your money and the heartache and go somewhere else. kenjordon@hotmail.com
Next is a letter to the BBB in Dallas GA, if that is where the company is and if not I will file it where the actual company is so the BBB can collect data on this company and help change their policy or put them out of business.

Bullshit
by: Mark

I ordered almost $100 worth of products from them a week ago and have only gotten the original order has been placed email... I emailed them to try to get the status of the order with no response I called them 5 times so far each time staying on hold for about 20-30 minutes not once speaking to a person ... This is crazy and if I don't hear from them or get my package soon I will have to do something about this

Just know what to expect
by: daverbes

Admittedly SwordsSwords has some great prices, but it's mostly lower quality, India and China made stainless. If you know what to expect, they're a good way to go. My issue is with their customer service.

They had a black-friday sale for 50%, and I ordered over $120 worth of items. The only items I really wanted was a rapier and a few throwing knives, but for 50% I splurged on other things. I got the original order e-mail with the entire list, the credit card confirmation with the entire list, and the 'packaged mailed' e-mail with the entire list. About 10 days later I got the package, but it didn't have the sword or the knives. When I called, those items were out-of-stock and I would be getting a refund. 5 weeks, 2 phone calls, and 4 e-mails later (2 or which were completely ignored) my credit card was finally credited.

If they were out of stock, why did I get three different confirmation e-mails? Why didn't they tell me before I received the package? And why did it take so long to give me my refund?

Bunch of crap
by: Anonymous

I tried swordsswords twice and got the wrong item once and a broken one the next time. They a bunch of cheats and carry crap items. Would rather pay more and get a quality item.

Also there are other sites with similar prices but much better products like:

www.swordsaxe.com

Swordsswords.com
by: Anonymous

Swordsswords.com is actually the supplier for a lot of TrueSwords products. As in, TrueSwords buys their items from Swordsswords.com.

Swordsswords.com has the best selection and pricing. It is always the best place to get swords from, hands down. Always a 100% positive experience.

I Concur, DO NOT buy from SwordsSwords
by: Ray Adams

Recently I bought a sword from swordsswords. When the sword came it was all messed up. The blade wobbled and rattled where it was attached to the handle. It was not even Full Tang like the website described it. Obviously I was not happy and called then up. They said to send it back so they can ship a new one. I did and a few days after they call me and say that the sword is perfectly fine. Liars. I told them to refund me and they said that they would charge me freaking 25 PERCENT RESTOCKING FEE. What BS. Save your money and buy from some one else. SwordsSwords is crap.

order:Heat Treated Tempered Steel Foam Grip Flashlight Baton 32 in
by: THIERRY, GA

So I passed order the sept28 and I received my extensible baton 32in with light the Oct03 by UPS.
= Fast. ONLY 5 DAYS. With GOOD PACKAGE.
I try already the baton....
Very strong, impossible broken it.
The publicity online with car, it's true.

But 2 problems, but you can fix...
1. The grip is too bad, slide easily.
I must take off and will buy at Walmart the black tape PROFESSSIONAL for bicycles (forhandlebar of bicycle). You get with, a good strong grip, even if you sweat from the hands.
2. I will must buy TOO a oil for handgun... because, the baton open easy, fast but you can not close it!
And then it must be used several times at home, before you use it really. Because you'd look stupid, after an arrest, you can not close your stick!
I think this is a good tool. Use with caution, as you can break bones easily.
I took the baton with the light. There in a battery. We must remove, inside, the protective paper, if you want the torch works.
On / Off: As a Maglite (Screw up / down).
A plus for my belt!
Conclusion: NO TOO BAD! So, I keep my PR24 tonfa.

so dont buy nothing than right?
by: Anonymous

So here's my question? I am currently in the United States Military and for my type of job I wanted a sword. Something that has kick and can cut through people more less. So should I buy a Carbon 1060 Katana from them or will it break. Be honest people. I need it for my work and thought they were the best. I don't want an expensive one neither. hell i may not come back and i dont want to give them a $500 sword. Can someone give me feed back please. thanks.

Avoid! NEW
by: Anonymous

This is not a very reputable seller at all! Once you place your order, you can't even consider cancelling it for any reason what so ever! Go ahead try to call them, odds are they won't answer or you'll sit on hold all day! Go and spend a little extra money and you won't have to feel like some bum has your information.

swordsswords THE SPIRIT KATANA NEW
by: Robert Chorley

No problems here. Bought THE SPIRIT movie katana replica. I bought it because it was a 1060 carbon steel hand forged blade for a ridiculous low $37 BLACK FRIDAY SPECIAL.. It came a week later well packaged with a real nice sword box and sword stand. All parts were as to be expected on a $37 sword. I freaked when I saw the blade. Oiled up well, no rust, very subtle nicely etched hamon and a super nice almost mirror polish. The blade alone is worth 3x's the price. All parts are coming off this beautiful 1060 blade and will be replaced with quality parts. Very nice blade! !!!!!!!"

scam NEW
by: Anonymous

swordsswords.com is a scam. i have been waiting 4 weeks now, numerous calls to them, no answers. finally i get a response but with poor customer service. i told all my fellow swordcollecting friends to never buy from swordsswords. i now shop from trueswords.com

not too bad NEW
by: Anonymous

I have ordered from these turkeys for a good 3 years now. All kinds of swords and machetes, blowguns, throwing stars etc. Found the item descriptons to be accurate. I never got damaged or broken items. Most blades stainless steel. Still practical. Nothing lasts forever. Good prices.

Only 1 downside. Shipping sometimes slower than usual. Order conf. email, payment conf. email, almost instant... ship conf. and tracking # however... Sometimes took a week.

All in all 7.5. Not the greatest. Better than most.

Horrible Quality!!! NEW
by: Anonymous

I placed a test order just to see what their quality was like. The prices were great, but I kept low expectations either way. I ordered a pair of handcuffs, 2 swords, and an extendable baton. The baton was the same quality I could get on ebay for $5, no shock there, the swords were terrible knockoffs, and horribly wrapped handles that uncoiled in the box before handling. Now to the real horror story the cuffs. They are supposed to be stainless steel, but they are not at all, came rusted, and severely used. The locking mechanism doesn't work at all, not even worth cleaning and tightening up for training.. They lost me and every military member as a possible customer that I tell about this. I was on active duty when it showed up, and they wouldn't give me a refund on the damaged item. Thanks Guys, DO NOT ORDER from them!!

Haven't received my sword NEW
by: Anonymous

I don't even know if I have a problem with their swords - I still haven't received mine. SwordsSwords provides only three shipping options when you check out - US Mail, US Priority Mail and US Express Mail. No Fedex or UPS. I hate the US Postal Service - they are slow and incompetent. My swords shipped over two weeks ago, I haven't received them, and US Postal Service tracking says only that they are in a Dallas sorting center. They will not arrive in time for Christmas (a present). Customer Service tells me it was my fault for specifying US post delivery, I should have gone to another page for UPS, that their website does not allow them to post rates for US Postal Service and UPS on the same page, and their default is to US Postal Service. Then they should fix their website!

not happy at all !!! NEW
by: Christy Adams

Ordered a medieval shield from this site for my sons Christmas. This was the first time ordering from this company and my last. I received my package on the 20th...I did not open this up because it was a Santa present for my son and it was going to be impossible to hide this 40 lbs shield. It was huge and there was no easy way of doing this. So I just left it in the box it came in which was a generic card board box. I opened it on Christmas morning at 3:00 am to set up Santa and realized it was broke on one side. This was a 70.00 shield so I was disappointed but thought we would just ship it back and exchange it. Called Monday which was the next day and got a VM, that said this mailbox was full. I got up first thing this morning and made it my first priority. After speaking with them, they told me I had a 3 day return policy. I also explained to them why this was not opened up. I mentioned to them about calling them on the 26th and got no where. I asked to speak with the supervisor about it , I explained to him I was not asking for my money just another one. He said he could do this but I would have to pay for shipping there and back. Shipping on this item was in the 20.00 range so it would cost me about 40.00 to do this. I am not a very happy customer and will not be buying from them again. I could understand if it was weeks out, OR if I was just trying to get my money back. I understand everyone has a policy to go by but again this was a Santa gift and it had not been looked at til Christmas morning in the wee hours of the morning. I would not recommend this company to anyone.
