So let me get the POSITIVE info out first, because overall I AM happy with the look and how these plugs finish off my sabers, and SaberForge’s e-mail communication was pleasant and timely when I had questions about shipping! They truly do look beautiful, it’s nice to have actual metal plugs when so many others are just painted plastic for roughly the same price.
Why I say they aren’t exactly what I ordered? Well, they weren’t cut to the .5” size that I requested in the drop menu. I have tools, it’s not that hard to do so I cut them down myself…but in principle if you order something a certain way, that’s how it should come to you, especially if it’s “made to order”.
The plugs stated they were in-stock when I ordered them, and yes, I read the notice that “in-stock means they have the parts needed to make the plugs, but the plugs still need to be made before shipping”. The listing is a bit misleading though as it states “item ships in 1-2 weeks”. From start-to-finish I believe my order was placed in June and the plugs arrived in late August, so between 8-10 weeks was what it took for me to receive my plugs and then for them to still need modifying because they weren’t made to order specs was a little disappointing.
Again though, other than that the build quality is SOLID and they look BEAUTIFUL in my sabers…I’m fine with waiting for a quality product and want to give credit where credits is due. If it weren’t for neglecting to cut the plugs to the specified length I would give this review a 5 despite the additional wait time.
