Q: How does pick up work?
When you select local pickup at checkout, we will contact you to coordinate a time and location. Pickup is typically arranged at MyTHS on Tuesday nights or MKDF on Thursday nights, depending on when you will be there.
Pickup may not be available immediately, but we will work with you to find a convenient arrangement. This option is intended for local customers who would like to avoid shipping costs.
If you have any questions, please email info@historicalswords.com.
Does Swordier offer a Warranty?
Yes, Swordier offers a 6 month replacement for their HEMA swords and a 1 year replacement for their non-HEMA swords (special order).
Should your sword break, you can contact Swordier directly for your replacement. Historical Legends can also assist you with this process. In our experience, Swordier requires pictures of broken swords. Once received, they will ship a replacement sword at no cost. This is subject to change at any time without notice.
What does Back-order mean?
A back-ordered item is currently out of stock, but we expect to order or receive more from the manufacturer. Because many of our manufacturers are located overseas, production and international shipping times can sometimes be unpredictable.
When you purchase a back-ordered item, your order is placed on our back-order list. When our next shipment arrives, back-ordered customers are fulfilled before the remaining inventory is made available for general sale on the website.
Once your item arrives, we will contact you and prepare your order for shipment or local pickup. You are welcome to contact us at info@historicalswords.com at any time for an update on the status of your order.
Please keep in mind that estimated arrival times for back-ordered products may change due to manufacturing, customs, tariffs, international shipping, or other circumstances outside of our control.
What does Pre-order mean?
A pre-ordered item is a new or incoming product that we are selling before it has arrived in our inventory.
Purchasing the item in advance reserves one for you and places you among the first customers to receive it when the shipment arrives. Pre-orders are fulfilled before the remaining inventory is made available for general sale on the website.
Once your item arrives, we will contact you and prepare your order for shipment or local pickup. Because pre-ordered items may still be in production or international transit, estimated arrival dates may change. You are welcome to contact us at info@historicalswords.com at any time for an update on the status of your order.
