"This shop is a scam, never answer the emails, don´t send the products and never give you back your money, they are thieves."
"2 words RIP OFF. My husband ordered a statue from them and they said 2 weeks for delivery a month later nothing. Several emails sent no reply. Sent a cancellation request finally responded saying the would refund as soon ad possible. A month later nothing more emails sent only one reply that our money was refunded the day of cancellation. Huge lie!!!!! Thankfully my husband paid with our bank card and bank of America gave us our money and put a claim against them. Also reported them to the Better Business Bureau. But nothing could be done.DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!!!!!!"
"it's been a while since i ordered from them, but i thought i'd share my experience.
i bought 4 knifes for around $100 and then waited patiently for them to provide a tracking number or for the items to arrive (i live in Bucharest, Romania, EU)
that was in December. after 30 days or so of waiting, i mailed them to see what was happening. a week later and still no response, i went to the bank to try and file for a chargeback.
after a month of waiting, the bank said the chargeback failed, because they had shipped the items and what do you know.. the next day i got an email from KOS telling me they have shipped.
so 3 weeks later i finally got the damn knifes.
after 3 months!
bottom line:
stay away, unless you're prepared to do business this way.."
"piece of crap website do not order from them all they do is advertise stuff that is not in stock, then they tell u that it will b here in 5-7 days. it been over two freaking weeks. i emailed them asking for a track number. they did not and still wont send me a tracking number. I am at a loss as to what to do next."
"The same thing has happened to me although the first time I ordered from them years ago I got the items (some throwing knives, though they took over 3 months to get there)but this time its been a little over a month and I was just trying to find more out about my order and had emailed them when I found this.
I called the previous number that is still on the internet and got a hold of the lady that owns the number now. She's been fighting to get her number off of the internet for a while now. I'm making this review to let you all know that
THE CORRECT NUMBER IS ***-***-****"
"King of swords has been one of my favorite online shops to buy swords for a few years now. I have always had a fairly pleasant experience with them. A few times the shipping could have been a little faster but they always quickly answered my inquiries."
"I just wanted to echo what everyone else is saying. Don't bother with kingofswords.com
I ordered something from them, only to find out a week later that they don't actually have the item and that they can't order more. Why its on their website, I don't know, but I suspect many of their items are like this. They asked me to find another item on their site of the same value, and I demanded a refund. A week later and no refund or response yet."
"I ordered a sword cane from king of swords, after months of waiting and nothing i contacted them and asked what was going on, they told me my order was lost and a new one would be rushed to me. again, after months of nothing i contacted the better business bureau and the attorney general of washington to try and do something about it. they attempted to contact the company but got no responce. today, however, i got a check from king of swords for the exact amount i paid. if you've gotten ripped off by these guys i would definitely contact someone about it. it wasn't all my complaining to them that got me my money, it was the people i contacted. DON'T LET THESE PEOPLE GET AWAY WITH STEALING. do something about it!"
"COMPLETE RIP-OFF! DO NOT DEAL WITH KINGOFSWORDS!
I never type in all caps, but this site is such a scam that I felt the need to. I ordered a lock pick set on the 27th of December, they immediately charged my credit card. I ordered from LA Police Gear the same day and received their package before I even got a tracking number from KOS. After emailing them with no reply I contacted my bank and filed a dispute.
DO NOT, under any circumstances, deal with King of Swords. They will steal your money and never ship your product."
"This company is a complete RIP-OFF!!!!! Do not order from them. I am usually very skeptical when ordering online, but my husband thought it would be OK. I have never had a problem before now with ordering online. I ordered 2 aisoft guns, ammo, and target box as a Christmas gift for my son. I placed the order the day afer Thanksgiving. My debit card was charged immediately. 2 weeks later, I had not heard from them. I emailed requesting information on when my items would be shipped. They replied once stating that two of the items were no longer available and to relply with alternate items, which I did. I never heard from them again. I ended up ordering from a well-known cite and had to pay double for one of the guns to get it here in time for Christmas. I sent 2 emails requesting a refund but no reply from them. I am reporting them to the better business bureau and anybody else I can think of. I cannot believe this company has been open this long, doing this to people."
"Same story as everyone else. Charged my card immediately but didn't have it in stock. After two months I cancelled my order (it took multiple tries). A month later I haven't been refunded and given what I've read I don't think I ever will. I never review stuff like this, but since hindmost's review seems like someone from the company posting a false review I figured another legitimate case against these scammers might be necessary. DON'T BUY FROM KINGOFSWORDS!!!"
"I ordered online a pair of SFX contact lenses for Halloween (dragon eyes). I ordered late in the day and left relatively little time for delivery. KoS expedited the order. When the manufacturer gave notice that my choice was out of stock, just 3 days before pumpkin day, KoS offered a different pair of lenses (my second choice anyhow, predator eyes), sent the order by overnight Fedex and refunded $50 on top. The lenses arrived exactly as ordered and with 24 hours to spare. I cannot tell you how impressed I am by this commitment to customer service. I would absolutely buy from KoS again and highly recommend them to all and sundry. Five stars."
"I usually consider myself pretty safe about my online ordering but I was obviously far off here. I had the exact same problem as so many others I see with King of Swords. I placed an order for an item on May 13, 2009 ($48.59). I was also told by email that my item was delayed in customs by their supplier. After waiting until August of 2009 and no shipment, I cancelled my order. My first red flag should have been that they charged my credit card right away for the item and which I am now told should not be done until the item has shipped. Of course I had to cancel the order online/email because that is the only way to contact them. It has now been a year since my ordered was placed, cancelled and never received and still no refund. I have sent numerous emails (some of which they replied to initially stating they have requested my refund from their accounting department), and then eventually I received no more response from them at all. I also tried several times leaving a message for them to call me at several different phone numbers they have, and each time I would get the same recording that they would call back but never a return call. I realize I fortunately did not lose too much money in this scam, but I was still scammed nevertheless and it makes me so angry that a company can continually get away with this. I hope the next person thinks to look for this company's reputation before placing an order. I know I wish I had."
"At least you got your money back.
Despite their claim of "Worldwide Shipping", my order was canceled (even though it is perfectly legal both to buy and own a stun gun in Japan - they are for sale everywhere) and I waited, patiently, for a refund to be issued.
None was forthcoming.
When some weeks had passed and I had to write to ask where my refund was, I was instructed to "contact my credit card company" in order to facilitate my refund. Quite what power they imagined my credit card company had in instructing them to pay me back is beyond me. I had never heard of anything so ridiculous - it is up to King of Swords to refund my money; it is certainly not my credit card company's responsibility.
I was told to wait and that "an e-mail confirmation" would be sent to me when a refund had been issued. So, I waited - and waited - and waited. But, nothing.
I even offered to have the refund made to my Paypal account - no answer.
"The King wants to know what you think!" - really? what evidence do they have for making this claim? I have requested a refund from them time after time and the King does not appear interested in hearing what I think at all.
My advice: AVOID!
Their customer service is non-existent and reflects the quality of the swords they sell - poor imitations of the real thing."
"I ordered Samurai sword as a Christmas gift on October 30th, 2009. After waiting several weeks, I was told it could take 14 business days to ship. After a month-long delay, emailed again to check on the order status and was told that their supplier was having trouble with customs. They had no trouble charging my credit card, though, on 10/31/2009: KINGOFSWORDS.COM ACWORTH GA $45.78 despite the fact that they didn't actually have a product to ship to me. I have requested an immediate and full refund.
