Hello,

I’m considering buying an LK Chen Flying Phoenix from them, but am always reluctant buying swords from unfamiliar sites (even if they have that sleek Apple Pay function and nice drop-down selection menus).

That being said, LK Chen’s customer service did say they were a solid option for Canadians, just not much more than that, so I’m curious:

Does anyone have experience with this website?

Moo,
InterruptingCow

I believe you can also buy some of their models from Kult of Athena. So shipped from the US instead of directly from China. Maybe that’s more convenient for you?

The flying phoenix I’m eyeing is back-ordered on KoA atm but I don’t take for granted how much easier that advice could’ve made buying it

Honestly… I’m also buying from DJS just because they have the specific scabbard design I want haha. I don’t know why but the current orange band design looks a little quirky for me, whereas the jet-black option just seems like something I’d have on a beater

Wasn’t meant to be!

They refunded the order and when I emailed to ask, said it was “due to some unforeseeable difficulties with our workshop and business logistics”. I asked if a future order for the same sword was possible and no response yet.

Fingers crossed they respond late though! Lovely looking piece

mrstabby: Been thinking the same - but the person that set up the page might not be there anymore and old code gets messy when not maintained. Might be a "repair subscriptions, destroy function X, repair X, destroy Y" situation by now - would mean a total overhaul. Nov 18, 2024 7:29:27 GMT

choseychas: Huh. Is there no fix on our side then? Or is it that you need to contact an admin since the auto system is down? Nov 18, 2024 3:58:50 GMT

eastman: problems with the forum software are the cause, not a goal to limit the club. There is an error with the software that messes up activities that require the sending of email. Nov 18, 2024 3:57:36 GMT

choseychas: That's what I figured, wasn't sure if it had become a limited club where you have to know someone to get in or what was going on. Nov 18, 2024 2:39:40 GMT

choseychas: Anyone have any info on MyArmoury registration? Been wanting to make an account for a year or more (can't remember at this point) but every time I've checked they've halted registrations. Nov 17, 2024 21:55:36 GMT

alinkinthechain: I also do love Boston. I've traveled a bit and nothing feels as wonderful as that city to me. I'm lucky to live nearby Nov 12, 2024 15:28:16 GMT

txhighlander: Boston might be my fav. So much history, and clean! and great food. New York was cool for a day to see iconic landmarks Nov 7, 2024 17:00:22 GMT

eskiso: someone can help me to identify a sword and its origin, to see its commercial value please. 2346
