They canceled part of an outfit knowing full well that the rest of it is completely worthless. They have zero customer service and won't do anything about their screwup that they charged me for. Stay away from these scammers.

The rating really should be 0. Not long ago, i tried to buy over $2000 worth of merchandise from this, turned-out-to-be, HORRIBLE AND WICKED COMPANY. The Employees scoffed at my ordre just because i politely asked if a discount was applicable. The Creep that spoke to me was utterly rude and disrespectful--- claiming that They "DO NOT MAKE DEALS". To this insolence, i asked to speak to the Owner of the Company. But the same Creep responded "The Owners DO NOT SPEAK TO customers". From this abuse, i submitted a review of this EVIL Company on~line. In-Response, The EVIL Employees all bore false-witness against me, claiming that i was "abusive" (in-order to cover for *Their* EVIL Disrespect). The EVIL Owners even stood by Their Creepy Employees sides--- knowing They lied. If you look at This Creepy Company's Website, you will notice that It has a consistent pattern: Abusiveness. Look at how many times you will see phrases like "WE DO NOT OFFER DISCOUNT CODES", "WE DO NOT PROMO CODES" etc... Does that sound like a company that cares about sales and customers? It does not. Would a real apparel business reject a $2000+ ordre? No, but a PHONY apparel business would. Because otherwise They would have to waste Their time filling the ordre, when Their real interest and money is something else. As a general rule {and though i do not know that this particularly applies to this Wicked Company}, whenever you find a Company that has NO real interest in customers, it means that the Company is really just a "Front Company" for more Nefarious Dealings--- like child-Trafficking or Drug-Trafficking. When i made my initial negative review of this EVIL Company, Its Owners did not even care. That is typically a Sign of People Using Their Store as a "Front" For EVIL-Things, and NOT What They Advertise. What is more, is that Trust-Pilot, or some Other source, kept my review from being read by the public. Which is another Sign that this Wicked Place is being protected by Nefarious sources. ***don't spend your good money with this Wicked Business, and take the chance that your good money is really going to Things That are more EVIL than The Devil Itself.****

I bought victorian ruffle bloomers from this so-called shop. I got alot of the money as a christmas present so that I could get them. I was so excited to get them. I can't say that I'm happy anymore. I was at first, but before half a year was over, there were holes in my bloomers. And I always washed them gently like I do with my other bloomers. These have cost me alot more than any other bloomers I've bought. And I had to pay alot just to get the package from the post office when it finally arrived, due to me living in another country. The amount was over tousand kr. in my valuta. And yet they are the first to go. The other ones I have, have great quality, despite having a nice, affordable price. These, however, do NOT stand up to my expectations or any standards. I didn't use them much either, and when I did, I was careful with them. I complained to the shop, and they tried everything to not give me my money back. I got a few coins eventually today, but that was very far from half of the amount I have paid for it. Do NOT buy from these scammers, they will only rip you off. You will only get bad quality for an unreasonable price. 😠

If you return an item, they will charge you 3 shipping fees. a. One fee to get the item. b. a second fee for you to send it back. c. a third fee when they make the refund and do so just because they can. This is not fully disclosed when you order, so BUYERS BEWARE OF THE SCAM!!!!!

I inquired about getting a holster, but they replied that they didn't have one for my model, so they referred me to a Mr. Barnett with Libertygunleather.com, and after waiting nine months of listening to excuses, the end result was I got ripped off for $185.00. I would recommend dealing with your local gun store, or find one in person.

If I could give zero stars, I would. I strongly recommend steering clear of this company. They have zero respect for history or those who lived it. I ordered a model ship of the USS Des Moines from them via Amazon. I placed the order for my 83 year old grandfather who served on the USS Des Moines more than 60 years ago. He was so excited to have and work on a model of this decommissioned ship that he has so many memories of. We eagerly awaited its arrival and when it finally came we opened the box to find... the wrong ship. When I submitted the return request, The History Store told me that if I sent it directly back to them, they would send the correct ship (instead of just getting a refund through Amazon). They sent me a shipping label that I brought, along with the ship, to The UPS Store. As with any Amazon return, they said they would take care of sending it back. A few days later, I was given a $60 refund. When I inquired about the replacement ship, I was told by The History Store that they would not be sending one. They claimed that the product was not packaged correctly for return and could no longer be sold as new. Because of this, they charged me a $90 restocking fee and refunded the remaining $60. Amazon reached out to the seller on my behalf to explain the situation and request that the full amount be refunded. The History Store refused and suggested that I take it up with the UPS Store. I couldn't do that as The UPS Store requires pictures of the damaged package as well as other details they would have (as the ones that paid for the shipping and received the package). When I pointed this out to them, I received no response. Overall, The History Store provided absolutely appalling customer service, especially given the fact that they sent the wrong product to begin with. My grandfather still does not have his ship. We'll be looking to purchase one from a different seller.

I agree that they are overpriced and out of stock on many things. I had to buy the item I wanted in a medium even though I wear small or x-small. And even the medium was "special order" I also read on Reddit that, as the person below me says as well, the brands they sell are actually much cheaper and they mark them up enormously. But what I'm most upset about is the lack of warning that there would be a large customs bill delivering to Canada. I order so many packages that never charge me customs that I forgot it was even a thing. Now I have this $50 bill for something I didn't even want... I was given a gift certificate for Historical Emporium so I used it because why not. I didn't expect this huge bill to receive it. I want to send the item back now and I just know it's going to be a huge headache to deal with trying to get it sent back. NOT impressed.

I ask for why they dont ship to Spain (when they are shipping to the other european countries )and i discovered that they think that all of us are buglars and cheaters. Awfull and insulting by the way
