scorch Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 I wanted a big, moderately tacky scimitar for a prop. I know that sourcing one from the US is at least $110. I found one much cheaper at a local store, but it's "Special order", so I called them today. Turns out, they tried to order it since last six months and it's as if they're out of production. Which I find strange as I still find them in stock in US stores. For $110. *fruitcage*. Have you tried playwell? They do martial arts equipment including blunt metal and plastic swords. Might have something suitable. Worth a look as they're cheap. Link to post Share on other sites

Worth a look as they're cheap. Took a look at Playwell, they don't have what I need. Daos, sure, but what I had in mind was a very specific model of a scimitar. Link to post Share on other sites
Cannonfodder80 Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 .... itwas more a dig at the awful shop service! I know what you mean, I got a ps3 controller from them which was DOA and getting a refund was a real ballache, luckily we have a store in town so I was able to go in there to kick up a fuss Link to post Share on other sites
Got Wood? Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 UPS have it now, so just have to hope all is well when it arrives. Tbf I've never had any problems with CEX, but I was apparently a fool to think the value of orders with them gives it any more attention than a DVD! Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 I ordered a guitar hero drum kit from them. Took ages but arrived ok eventually. Was dirt cheap so I didn't mind too much. Link to post Share on other sites
Got Wood? Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 Oh my gawd. Either they put the wrong name and address on my laptop, or the tracking number isn't my order. For some woman in Exeter and that's a 6hr round trip for me. How someone can screw it up at every stage I cannot fathom Link to post Share on other sites
Mike_West Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 So I had dreams about fighting all night long. Now my arms hurt like I was shoveling coal. Link to post Share on other sites

Got Wood? Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 My laptop got picked up by the person it was addressed to, before UPS could get back there and collect it to come to me. Merry *fruitcage* Christmas someone else! Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 That's not your problem - surely the supplier will have to replace it? Or at least give you a refund... Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 Yup. Cex will eat that. I'd recommended buying from someone else. Perhaps keep an eye on the Apple refurb stock if you want something with a little apple on it. Link to post Share on other sites
Got Wood? Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 Refurb stuff right now is only their top of the line stuff. Too much for me to be willing to spend it. Was the last one they had apparently. Link to post Share on other sites
