Lost in Mail. Blames customer. While ordering a product there I noticed that the shipping address was wrong. I went back and changed it in the form. When I ordered the product I noticed that the address was still wrong after I changed it. I called and e-mailed them for two days. When I talked to them on the phone it was not a solution orientated call. They immediately blamed me for the error. The whole conversation was how it was my fault and the form was never wrong. They didn't even talk to me about what it would take to get the product changed the the right address. Eventually they redirected the shipment at my cost to my place but at this point it was four days after I contacted them. Its been two weeks and the item still has not arrived because its lost being redirected.

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.

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.

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).

Excellent service Quick and easy website; although their mobile version is sometimes difficult to navigate via iPhone. Wonderful customer service and quick shipping. Haven't tried the custom shop yet but will be ordering uniforms with my logo on them soon!!! -Sensei Mitchell Pennell Founder of MPMA Kacrijitsu self defense
