Turnaround Time
Because all weapons are custom-made,
they are made-to-order and therefore require 2 to 3 weeks before
the weapons get to you. However, we do our best to get it to
you in 2 weeks or less. Send your inquiries to
Other Shipping Information
Customers are responsible for any importing
costs (such as import taxes, brokerage fees, etc.) Please find
out with your government for exact costs of these fees, and
make sure that the item can be legally imported. We cannot refund
products confiscated by customs.
Warranty
Although ironwood is one of the 3 densest
wood in the world, wood is still wood, and depending on usage,
will fracture or crack eventually, just like any other kind
of wood. As long as you use your weapon normally (meaning you
use it on other wooden weapons in regular practice, and not
on steel, concrete, etc.), the weapon will last you many years.
However, if the wood severely warps or cracks due to climate
changes within 90 days of your receipt (based on UPS tracking),
we will replace your weapon free of charge. You will be required
to send a few photos of the damage of your weapon, one close
up, one at regular zoom, and perhaps another of a different
angle, before we can send you the replacement (shipping and
handling will be covered by us as well). Please expect slight warping in the Jo and Bo. Like the other weapons, we only replace warping in these items if they are severely warped.
