Scammers TL:DR: no goods received, ever changing “tracking” data. Suspect scam. I ordered online back in the first week of December and used the “pay by PayPal” option. I received an order confirmation with a delivery date. It was only when this date had passed and I emailed them, that Century told me they hadn’t received my payment because I had sent it to the wrong PayPal address (I used the link on their own order form!). Finally got payment sorted and the good are despatched. I have a tracking number. Except the tracking info changes daily - one day it says the goods have been returned to Germany because of insufficient documentation provided by Century - the next day it says it’s on its way. It’s now over a month since my first order and nearly 4 weeks since the second payment went through. Still no goods. It’s looking like Century Europe is a scam.

Very Poor Customer Service I ordered the book Bruce Lee in Black Belt Magazine several weeks ago. It arrived with the cover almost completely torn off and it was not damaged in shipping, it was in this condition from the publisher. After many emails for over a week now, with the Acquistion Marketing and VIP Customer Service Reps promising to replace the book, a new one has not been shipped and I doubt they plan to do so.

Century provides many great products at a reasonable price. I've been using Century for over 30 years. They consistently remain well stocked with quality products. While clearly they still have their roots in traditional Karate & TKD, in recent years they have improved with their selection of MMA, Boxing & Muay Thai equipment. They work very well with martial arts schools and have a solid wholesale price list.

Grand Master of Instructor Support I began buying all my student's martial arts gear in 1999. Since then till now, Century has always exceeded in service, quality, and over all professionalism. That makes them the Grand Master of Instructor Support to me, and I would think to every other instructor.

Worst supply company for m.a, EVER ! Worst supply company for m.a. of all time ! They sent me defective sparring boots, then, Jake Merrill, a supervisor, refused to admit it was defective ! Finally, they were supposed to issue me a credit of $ 42.84. Its now MArch 31st and still no refund, two months later. He then debits my card a SECOND TIME, then yells and shouts at me when I complained to him, then, he hangs up on me. Century owes me 85.68 and I have no idea if I am going to get a refund and when. Called their office a third time and they cannot get a hold of a supervisor. Horrible, horrible, company, avoid them at all costs ! Master R.J. Smith, 7th Dan ITF, (previous customer since 1996).
