Swblades.com ripped us all off. They supposedly sell replica swords and weapons online. This company goes by numerous names, but most link to swblades.com. They will take your order, charge your credit card, send an email that your order will ship in a few days, and then move on. They only send form email responses to your requests for info on your order. Their phone numbers are either phoney, a recording, or you get a receptionist who will give you the runaround and maybe take a message. But you never get the company on the phone - ever.
They are located in San Antonio, Texas and have an unsatisfactory rating at their Better Business Bureau. They have 58 complaints filed against them - that is just the number of people who actually took the time to look them up and file a report. Of these, 10 are resolved but the company refused to respond to the BBB on 45 of them.
The owner is running a video contest through www.SwordsofCinema.com, and hired a freelancer to make 10 videos for metacafe and youtube to promote the business. He also hired a freelancer to submit friend requests on MySpace to get him 5000 fake friends. He used the name Red Dragon Inc.in his requests for bids on these jobs.
There is a page on resellerratings.com about this company and I have a page at http://www.sword-buyers-guide.com/beware-of-sw-bladesred-dragon-swordskingdom-of-swords.htm which details my experience with them. The page is getting long with comments from other people who have been ripped off, too. It is not worth the risk to buy from this guy. If you already did, and your purchase does not show up within a couple weeks, call your credit card company immediately to reverse the charges. You have a limited amount of time to do this. Do not wait for SWblades.com to respond to your emails and angry messages - they won't. I lost my money this way. Don't waste your time, just call your credit card company.
Hopefully, after enough complaints and reversed charges, maybe we can get the credit card companies to stop doing business with him. I don't know what else will stop him. If you have had a bad experience with this company, please let other people know.
