Midas' Revenge Bar
I recently order the Midas' Revenge Bar on a flash sale that Fringe offered. Not only did I receive the 20% discount, but the Fringe representative also gave me an additional discount for military veteran status. So cool! When the package arrived, however, it looked like it had gone through the war and back. The packaging was damaged and the top 1/3 of the protective cardboard tube was ripped off the bar. The gold bar sleeve was exposed and scratched up. The UPS driver let me know that this is how the bar was loaded on her truck and confirmed this was most likely not how the package was shipped but rather damaged in transit. Given the damage, the UPS driver offered to ship it back to Fringe, which I accepted. I then contacted the Fringe sales rep about the damaged package and bar. She confirmed that every product they ship is carefully packaged and protected, and immediately forwarded my concern to Fringe Customer Support who contacted me promptly the next day. They said they would immediately send a replacement bar and apologized for the inconvenience. Within a very short time thereafter, I received the shipping confirmation. The replacement Midas' Revenge Bar arrived within just a few days and the package was undamaged and the bar well protected. The bar looks fantastic overall! There was a very slight scuff/blemish in the gold titanium finish on one of the bar sleeves, but aside from the blemish (a bit of a disappointment) the rest of the bar--including the Cerakote bar finish--was perfect! The sleeve spin isn't as smooth as I'd hoped, so not sure what to make of that. I'll need to pull off the sleeves and give it a good look-over. All in all, I'm sure this bar will serve its purpose well. Aesthetically, it is a really nice-looking bar--best-looking bar in my line-up! It is solid and I have no reason to believe this bar will not hold up. I'm giving this bar a 4 out of 5, and a solid 5 out of 5 to Fringe for their customer service and support. If you're looking for a great bar, give the Midas' Revenge Bar a look if you can pick it up on sale. If you take the plunge and order, you'll get a great bar backed up with great customer service, but just know that the bar might not be exactly flawless and fit for a king.
