Return and refund policy

Overview

The consumer has a period of 14 days to cancel the purchase of any of the products in the event that there is a problem not described or they do not arrive in the conditions that were budgeted at the time of purchase.

The consumer will have to bear the cost of return as well as the cost of shipping plus the cost of insurance paid for the delivery of the object, and the object will have to arrive in the same condition in which it was sold, with all its original accessories and in its packaging.

Certain items such as antique armour are sensitive to assembly and disassembly and therefore cannot be returned as they are a delicate item where the safety of assembly by the customer cannot be guaranteed. All other items are subject to a 14 day return period.

Please note that these are centuries old art objects, obviously they have received some damage due to the passage of time and combat, please take this into account before purchasing.

Late or missing refunds

If you haven’t received a refund yet, first check your bank account again.

Then contact your credit card company, it may take some time before your refund is officially posted.

Next contact your bank. There is often some processing time before a refund is posted.

If you’ve done all of this and you still have not received your refund yet, please contact us at info@supeinnihonto.com.

Sale items

Shipping returns

You will be responsible for paying for your own shipping costs for returning your item. Shipping costs are non-refundable. If you receive a refund, the cost of return shipping will be deducted from your refund.

Unique Historical Items and Loss of Value

The items offered by Supein Nihonto may consist of unique, antique, historical, artistic, cultural heritage, or collectible pieces, including, among others, Japanese swords, samurai armor, kabuto, menpō, koshirae, kodōgu, tsuba, lacquerware, textiles, cords, documents, stands, and other handcrafted or historical elements.

These items are not industrial, fungible, or replaceable products that can be substituted by an identical example. Their value depends on their authenticity, material integrity, state of preservation, documentation, provenance, patina, age, rarity, original mounting, historical coherence, and absence of inappropriate interventions.

The right of withdrawal will be respected whenever it is legally applicable. However, the buyer acknowledges that any handling beyond what is strictly necessary to verify the nature, characteristics, and general condition of the item may result in a significant loss of value, even where the visible damage appears limited.

By way of example, loss of value may be caused by assembly, disassembly, testing, use, placement on unsuitable stands, tension applied to cords, removal of components, handling of blades, cleaning, incorrect oiling, direct contact, exposure to humidity, impacts, friction, pressure, twisting, unauthorized intervention, non-professional repair, or improper transport.

In the event of a return, if the item shows damage, alteration, wear, broken threads or cords, missing components, modification of its original condition, signs of use, or any loss of historical, aesthetic, material, or commercial integrity attributable to the buyer, Supein Nihonto may deduct from the amount to be refunded the loss of value suffered by the item.

This reduction may include not only the material cost of repair, but also the historical or commercial loss of value of the piece, as well as inspection, appraisal, documentation, conservation, professional packaging, insured transport, temporary export or import procedures, customs, insurance, and specialized restoration costs, including shipment to Japan or to qualified professionals where the nature of the object so requires.

The buyer accepts that, in the case of unique antique and collectible items, a repair may not restore the item to its previous value if its integrity, authenticity, preservation, original mounting, or historical coherence has been affected. In such cases, the loss of value may exceed the mere material cost of repair.

Where a product has been made, adapted, restored, modified, reserved, commissioned, or prepared according to the buyer’s express specifications, or where any other legally established exception applies, the right of withdrawal shall not apply under the terms established by applicable law.

我是一名常驻中国的室内设计师。当时我正在为一位客户的办公室寻找正宗的日本藏品,偶然了解到了Supein Nihonto。我们当时专门想找两套武士铠甲,将其作为空间的视觉核心。 整个合作过程中,埃里克提供了极大的帮助。他解答了我关于铠甲的各类疑问,包括铠甲的历史背景、尺寸规格、陈列方式以及物流运输等问题。尽管我们身处不同国家,他把所有事宜都处理得清晰明了。 铠甲如期送达,摆放在完工后的办公室里效果十分惊艳。最重要的是,我的客户对最终效果非常满意。 这次合作体验极佳。今后如果有室内设计项目需要采购正宗日本古董,我一定会再次选择这家。

J'ai pu échanger de visu avec Eric. C'est un vrai passionné, qui maîtrise son sujet. Je le recommande vivement, surtout dans ce milieu ou le meilleur se mélange avec les pires escrocs

Hervorragende Dienstleistung, Qualität und persönliche Betreuung! Ich habe bereits drei Stücke von Supein Nihonto gekauft und hatte nie Probleme. Nach schlechten Erfahrungen mit anderen japanischen Händlern – lange Lieferzeiten und sogar ein verlorenes Paket – bin ich zu dieser Firma gewechselt. Ich werde ihnen treu bleiben und meine bereits beeindruckende Sammlung weiter ausbauen.

Ho acquistato da Eric un’armatura samurai di grande fascino e qualità, e l’esperienza è stata eccellente sotto ogni aspetto. Fin dal primo contatto si è dimostrato estremamente professionale, competente e disponibile nel fornire tutte le informazioni richieste, accompagnandomi con trasparenza durante l’intero processo di acquisto. L’oggetto ricevuto corrisponde perfettamente alla descrizione e alle aspettative, con una cura nei dettagli che testimonia una profonda conoscenza del settore. Ho particolarmente apprezzato la serietà, la correttezza commerciale e l’attenzione riservata al cliente, qualità oggi sempre più rare da trovare. La spedizione è stata accurata e l’armatura è arrivata in perfette condizioni. Consiglio vivamente Eric a collezionisti, appassionati di arte e cultura giapponese e a chiunque sia alla ricerca di oggetti autentici e di alto livello. Grazie ancora per questa splendida acquisizione che rappresenta uno dei pezzi più interessanti della mia collezione. Mik – Roma, Italia

I had an excellent experience with Supein Nihoto. I purchased a katana and a wakizashi, and both pieces are truly beautiful — carefully selected and of remarkable quality. You can immediately see the attention to detail and the seller’s passion for what he offers. The packaging was also exceptional: all the documentation was perfectly arranged in a refined envelope, which added a very elegant touch to the whole experience. As a thoughtful gesture, he even included a small katana kake stand as a gift, which I greatly appreciated. Beyond the objects themselves, the seller was very helpful, responsive, and clearly knowledgeable. His selection is outstanding, and you can tell he deals in genuinely fine items. Highly recommended — I would definitely purchase from Supein Nihoto again

I received a beautiful tokubetsu hozon nihonto for Christmas from Supein. Actually my wife purchased the sword after receiving some helpful hints and recommendations lol. She knows absolutely nothing about nihonto but Supein walked her through everything honestly and I ended up with something beyond my dreams and expectations, honestly. The packing was exceptional, shipping fast and the sword itself a literal work of art. Supein has a lifetime customer now as my collection grows. Thank you!
