Century Martial ArtsReviews of centurymartialarts.com

From the rude uneducated lying Egotistical sales staff, the shipping, non competitive pricing and the lack of quality in products,,, century is a joke. Never Again. I buy everything from Amazon now.

I ordered something and it was too small. I was told they would send me a return form. I have yet to receive it. This has been several weeks ago. Opened up a box today. Missing an item, yet it is listed as being in the box. This is a Christmas gift and I wonder how long it will take them to correct this problem? I am NOT happy with this company at all. If they do not fix the problem in a matter of days, this will be the LAST time I order from this company.

I am so sad to have to post a low rating for Century Martial Arts. As a martial arts club, we have been loyally using Century for years. recently we ordered mats from Century. They were sub-standard, which was surprising, and we had to return them. The return became painful...requiring multiple calls and nearly 2 weeks of checking to see why a refund was not issued. Eventually, although very late in the process, most of our money was returned (we were out shipping both ways... nearly $500) and everything straitened out. The saddest part was not the money lost...finally I spoke with a manager to determine why the hold on our refund after receiving the merchandise back at Century. He admitted that is was their error, but with a cursory apology...in the conversation I mentioned that we had used Century for years...there was no "we value your business" said or implied. All communication was cordial but not appreciative. I realize that we are one of the "small guys", our school does not produce the orders that Century receives from others. But, as a business owner in 3 industries and nearly 30 years, I value EVERY CUSTOMER regardless of the amount that they add to my profit-line. There are many months that the consistent loyalty of the "small guys" changes our outlook and take us over the top. I wish Century Martial Arts valued small but loyal contributors with a (free) "thank you so much for your business! We appreciate that you are there ordering month in and month out." I was taught early in business: "the small but loyal buyers will take you to success, and often grow to become your large accounts". I guess we need to find other sources that believe and appreciate ALL customers and are not afraid to voice that appreciation... especially when they make a mistake. BTW..we went to DOLLAMUR SPORT SURFACES for our mats and they are FANTASTIC (not even in the same league).

I bought something from here and it was too small so I sent it back to be returned for a bigger size on June 12th. It got there on the 16th and they didn't send me a confirmation email or anything. So I contacted them today to find out if they even received the item I sent back and they told me to provide the tracking number which is dumb because they should have it marked as received on my account when they got it. I was told that it takes 4-6 WEEKS to process which is dumb (never buying from there again for this reason). They were out of stock of the gloves I wanted to exchange for and so they told me to pick some other gloves so I picked the cheapest gloves (24.99) since I only paid 9.99 for the gloves I received and everything else was out of stock. Then they were trying to make me pay the difference (16.50) and an exchange fee (6.00). I already spent 10 dollars shipping the damn things back now I have to pay an addition 22 dollars? I could have just went to the store and bought the same exact gloves for cheaper after dealing with all of this. I'M NEVER SHOPPING HERE AGAIN. Save yourself time and money and do the same. I'm only giving two stars because the guy who helped me was really nice and genuinely cared.

Had no trouble ordering the items, but when it came time for delivery, I was charged $10 and never received them. After waiting an extra week I finally called customer service. I was informed that the package had been returned to Century due to damage to the packaging. I was never notified, so I never thought to check my credit card statement (as they had reimbursed my card a week after the product had been unknowingly returned). To make up for a month long wait for items, they did nothing other than charge me again for the same product, but they covered the shipping. Gee,how nice of them. Let's hope it gets here this time.
