A note to our non-theatre clients:

 

Thinking of buying one of our items? Great! We know that there are a lot of companies out there, and we appreciate your turning to us.

 

            But first we want to make sure you know what you are getting. Weapons of Choice provides prop weaponry for stage, not for fencers or historical recreation societies or people who want an impressive wall hanging.  We work on the thirty foot rule – if it looks OK from the distance of the stage to the first row of the audience, then that’s good enough for us. Since we don’t expect the audience to be able to closely inspect the items, we don’t have to worry about taking the extra days it would take to better finish the look of our products. That is part of what keeps our costs down.

    People who work in theatre understand this. Costumes, scenery, furniture, props - it all has to look just good enough to fool the audience. If you need something that looks good close up - well, that's just not what we do.

     The same thing goes for our stage combat items - they are designed for the style of fighting taught by SAFD. Our swords are not recommended for use by fencers or by re-enactors. Those are completely different techniques, requiring completely different weapons.

    We know that most people will not be aware of how things work in theatre. So, if you decide that a purchase from us is not the kind of item that suits your needs, you are free to return the item to us within 10 days of its delivery to you, and you will be charged only the original shipping cost. So please take a good look at what you’ve received. Special Note: This does NOT apply to any items purchased from our Attic. All Attic sales are nonrefundable.
