Medieval Collectibles

(1/1)

Sir Edward:
Medieval Collectibles
http://www.medievalcollectibles.com/

It looks like an interesting site. Lots of cross-over with MRL and the like, but they have a little of everything, including replica coins and the like. One of the rennies I was talking to was thinking of buying some armor from them, but I haven't looked to see if it's any good or not.

Ian:
I've ordered from them before, and they're very hit or miss.  Whether you get your products in a timely matter or at all is subject to luck sometimes.  They don't inform you if items are backordered or in stock, but they will take your money up front and their customer service is abysmal.  They also seem kind of fishy in this regard:

Notice how all of the above sites are almost identical, and all contact information goes to Princeton, IN.  If you didn't catch it, the 2nd URL purposely spells collectibles wrong, with an 'a' instead of an 'i'

Sir James A:
I bought my entire soft kit from them. I emailed to check on the order after a few days of no tracking info, and they said the pants I ordered were not in stock in brown, but they had black, and would be weeks before they get the brown ones. They let me swap for black, and shipped it all out. No real complaints, minor nitpick in that the cloak I ordered was a "victoria secret" style "sheer", but I almost expected as much for $15 - I mostly bought it for the sake of patterning from. Only time I've ordered from them. They do have a large variety of stuff, but most of the armor looks LARPish at best.

I typically use the middle one (collectAbles) as it isn't blocked here at work (DKA isn't either, but I had a bad CS experience w/them- it was then that I learned they were one and the same with the two MCs) but I second the abysmal customer service as well as they do not take the time to update their site so if an item's backordered, you won't find out until after your payment's cleared.  I have ordered from them a total of two times...the second time everything came as it should've, but if I have other options, I'll explore those first.

They've got some cool stuff you won't find in MRL, cool being subjective, of course.

Sir Ulrich:
I ordered pants from them and they were out of stock and when I got them they were in a size large and were SUPER baggy...
