The 2009 News. - Payment conditions adjustment
Dear friends of a good craft.
We have always appreciated the mutual trust which has developed between our workshop and customers. We have never required any upfront payments and sent the swords together with only an e-mail statement saying that the weapons are on their way and the money transfer can be carried out. For long years, with a few minor exceptions only, this relationship has worked well in a mutually satisfactory manner. It was based on reciprocal trust and one’s word of honour – qualities that belong to the personality of a good swordsman.
Nevertheless during the last few months we had to face an enormous increase of customers who somehow “forgot” to pay. The situation has reached such a level that despite of the rising number of orders we often get into serious trouble (sadly not due to our fault) and are not able to perform our financial obligations.
We are therefore forced to adjust the payment conditions.
• From now on we will demand 30% upfront payment for orders over EUR 600 in total.
• All the payments and after payments will have to be on our account before the parcel consignation.
• All the customers will receive an e-mail note saying that the order is ready to be shipped together with a photo of the respective sword(s). On receipt of the agreed amount (or on receipt of payment confirmation from your bank/e-banking system by e-mail) we will immediately ship the parcel.
Once more I have to claim how sorry I am for the disappearing mutual trust and that we have to take those precautionary measures.
We would like to thank all our existing customers and we hope that you will still favour our work.
With best regards, Pavel Moc, Fabrikdirektor
The 2008 News.
Dear friends of a good craft. We would like to inform you about the changes that are going to take place in our workshop at the beginning of spring 2008.
We will stop producing the existing sword types in April and gradually we will start replacing them by more sophisticated successors. The new models will reflect our 12 years of experience with practical sword making, new theoretical knowledge acquired by studies and tuition by experts of international reputation (Dr.Ulrich Lehnart), remarks of fencing masters (Peter Koza, Guy Windsor etc) as well as higher production technologies. The result is a sword, which is by its appearance; materials used and its features at the most close to the historical originals, while keeping the price affordable to the wider swordsmen community.
At the beginning, there will be only a limited number of swords available. We will start with the favorite models:
For communication with us, please, use only the e-mail. In case anyone knows my mobile number from the previous time, please, send me only SMS. I want to fully concentrate on the workshop and the number of calls to answer has reached so high that is has become a serious obstacle in my work.
With best regards, Pavel Moc, Fabrikdirektor
