news 07/09/08: Some information on backordered GDFB products - hourglass gauntlets and padded cuisses - leather knees should be arriving in the US around the end of July. This is a revision of GDFB's previous estimate that they will be arriving at the beginning of July. Sigh.

Please see the News Updates page for older announcements.

High quality swords at very reasonable prices. Over the past few years, Paul Chen / Hanwei swords have become the de facto standard for inexpensive but functional swords. These unsharpened swords are very tough and sturdy, meant for training use.

At TherionArms, you will receive personal service from an expert professional who as been studying (and using!) weapons and armor for over twenty-five years, not some shop monkey in a warehouse who doesn't know anything about swords and armor except for the stock number. Every item I ship I personally inspect, approve, and securely package myself.

Standard delivery time for Antique & Ethnographic items is usually about one week, for Reproduction items it's usually one to three weeks unless otherwise noted on the catalog page. Occasionally, my Reproduction manufacturers can't keep up with the demand, and I'll have to place your request on backorder. For items on backorder, your Verisign Visa/Mastercard purchase will not be charged until shipment is nigh.

Payment methods: Credit cards accepted via PayPal or Verisign Visa/Mastercard through the shopping cart, or by phone: (512) 247-3578 (leave message). The answering machine is secure. Personal checks, bank checks, and money orders can be mailed to TherionArms -- PO Box 187 -- Del Valle, TX, 78617. Gift certificates are available through PayPal - email if you wish to send a different amount other than the standard denominations.

The shopping cart system can be used to check shipping rates for check or money order purchases - the payment page comes after the shipping information page.

The Government requires that I collect a sales tax of 8.25% for any item shipped to a Texas address. The shopping cart or PayPal will include that for you automatically, podnuh.

This isn't just a business, it's a passion, and I'm confident that you'll be happy with my products. Please check my eBay feedback (790+!) for references. Satisfaction guaranteed or return within two weeks in original condition for full refund less exact shipping charges. I don't believe in "restocking fees", they're mean and impersonal.

A purchase indicates that you have read and agree to The Fine Print detailed at the bottom of the Ordering page.

TherionArms isn't a giant mega-corporation with a call center and dozens of employees scuttling about in a huge warehouse (yet). Emails and phone calls will be answered as soon as possible, but please be patient if I don't get back to you right away - there's so much work to be done!

All shipments from TherionArms may contain trace amounts of cat fur. Sorry, can't help it.

(We have eleven cats, and they shed as if they were a full legion.)
