Alchem Armoury... Not really a review just yet.

Contacted the folks at alchem asking whether they had 46" sword blades in stock.. The answer was "YES WE DO" so I ordered one..
3 weeks go by, I ask on the status at which point I get an email saying "We have to make it as it's a custom length and takes about 4 weeks" We are now at week six (which in the overall scheme is a short time but not when you are told an item is "In stock")
So at this point per the Frieman Scale
Quality 0/5 if an in stock item doesn't exist, there can be no quality rating.
Communication 0/5-- This transaction started based on what was an immediate falsehood
Shipping-- 6 weeks for an in stock item.. Ohh wait never mind, it wasn't there..
Price-- I paid to get nothing shipped to me 0/5
Comparable to other manufacturers... 0/5 When in stock means "Gimme yer money and we'll make it" and those other suppliers say in stock and actually ya know MAIL it to you. there is no comparison...
I sent them an email questioning the above.. We'll see what happens.
