Warning for www.ninecircles.co.uk!
I want to post a warning to everyone considering a purchase from the British vendor Nine Circles (http://www.ninecircles.co.uk). Although their gods are of fine quality their routines and business ethics are not. They obviously don't respect their customer nor do they conduct a honest business.
Why?
Well, I order a sword. Picked it from their stock list and filled out the order form. I chose to pay by bank transfer.
First sign of warning: The Sword I ordered did not automatically disappear from the order form. Anyone could order it again, and again, and again and So I couldn't even know for sure if I was the first one to order it or not. Brilliant system isn't it?
So it was quite a relief when I finally got an e-mail saying: Hi, we've confirmed your order please pay up! I mean; Obviously you'd expect that to mean that it's a done deal. I checked and indeed the sword was now removed from the stock inventory list. So I paid and happily awaited my new sword with the exact fittings, length, color and design I wanted.
Nasty surprise: Today I got an e-mail saying: Oh, we have already sold the you just paid for to somebody else. Please pick another one! And by the way; Be quick about it because these sword are going very quickly!
I don't care if it is a stupid mistake. This is not the way to do honest business. This is not the way to run a serious company. This is not showing respect to your customers. I don't recommend anyone buying anything from shady companies like this!
