After over 20 years of doing business with Century Martial Arts Century for the longest time was a great company to purchase wholesale from. Fair prices, great customer service. Frankly, my first choice for martial arts supplies. Unfortunately, over the past several years I have seen a steady decline in their customer service and a steady increase in their prices. I last experience was it for me. When you are guaranteed to have your order by a certain date and it doesn't arrive and me as the customer have to follow up as to why. Not only once, but 4 times and it's over a week later than promised, that to me is very poor customer service.

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.

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.

Read it and get ready to be treated like it I called in to pay my bill, I got transferred two times to the wrong agent, they called me by a different name, she put me on hold for 22 minutes, after I received a call at the studio asking for me I mean... What kind of cheap shitt show are they running in this company??? They are getting so unprofessional lately, I wish they had competition so they up their game.. No wonder business go out of business because they don't adapt and the people who work there get complaisant.

Returns Customer service for returns have no follow through. An item shipped damaged, pictures of the item was requested and sent and several follow up phones calls made and no response on replacement. Every other area has superior service.
